This film is a remake of the Danish film of the same name. The original film is a low-cost production, with a length of only 80 minutes, which is very suitable for telling a compact and high-speed closed space story. And michael bay is good at big scenes, and he is very careful in the adaptation, so that some are too careful. At the same time, the car chase at the core of the film is also difficult to please the audience who have seen many surreal wars in the scene, making the whole film feel more exciting than exciting.
The characterization of the film is also quite a failure, showing a flat image and unable to resonate with the audience. The logical relationship between the characters in the film is quite confusing. The two protagonists themselves should be brothers and the most important emotion in the film, but they are too playful.
Michael bay also made great efforts to create some impactful audio-visual effects. He expresses his sense of speed through various special perspectives and moving shots, but the result is just the opposite, because there is more than one movement in the shot, which makes the subject on the screen not prominent and it is difficult for the audience to concentrate in one place. These shots are full of dazzling skills, but they make the overall impression look bloated and destroy the narrative rhythm.
The story of desperate ambulance
Will Sharp (Yahya Abdul Maidin), a veteran returning from Afghanistan, urgently needs to raise medical expenses for his seriously ill wife, so he has to ask Danny Sharp (Jake Gyllenhaal), the brother of his adoptive parents, for help. Danny is a professional criminal. He gave sharp instructions to participate in the biggest bank robbery in the history of Los Angeles.
However, when the robbers of two brothers successfully robbed an ambulance and escaped, they found that there was a female first aid expert-Cam Thompson (Eiza González) in the car, and the situation became out of control. The two brothers and the Los Angeles police launched a quick pursuit, and Cam also needed to deal with the two brothers to resolve the danger while ensuring the safety of the wounded.
