Bay’s Ambulance—inspired by a Danish film from 2005, which already seems like a much simpler time—is arguably too much of everything.

Screenwriter Chris Fedak transports this story to modern-day Los Angeles, which gives Bay the perfect opportunity to relish in his deep love of the city.

Bay has long been obsessed with heroes in uniform and charismatic criminals. Here, they collide in nearly every frame.

Car chases, explosions, and gun fights might be expected in Bay movies.

Like the last Fast and Furious entry, F9, this Ambulance sequence plays with sound and silence, mayhem and muteness, to knowingly hysterical effect.
