Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
OJT This film is made on a concept that it's done after certain set of rules, just like the dogma rules was back in the nineties. The rules of the ride has been described as: The entire film must take place in only one location; an ambulance, the story has to be shot in real time and there should be only 4 persons we get to know.If this is right, then there is a couple of minor breaches of the rules, but never mind. This is a psychological thriller about two brothers which robs a bank to be able to get their mother to alternative cancer treatment. The older is a criminal, but still doesn't want the younger to become one. Things go wrong, and on the flight from the bank they have to steal a car, which happens to be an ambulance on mission.The idea is good, the effects are excellent, the filming is both and asa whole the film is interesting, yet I must say I wasn't really fond of any of the persons. That's a main rule when it comes to a thriller like this. The actors are good, and if we got to like the two main persons, the brothers, it would be a whole different story. The problem is that they are too unlikeable. When the film tries to establish this, it's too late. I'm also not too sure if I like the concept of going inside the body of the hear patient. I'm not sure if I get the effect of this, and that it helps the film's dramatization.If you're able to get past this, it's an OK film to watch.
aeskild Spoiler alert: When the scroll texts appear, it means you're close to actually making it through this school example of a trashy movie picture. The original category pick by both director and writer surely meant to be something inbetween action/comedy and a psychological drama. Trash however, is the most describing category into which this flick is catapulting itself. Few scenes with some humorous or dramatic potential, soon get spoiled through a talentless script, unforgivable clipping errors, as well as through the flawless ability of all characters, surrounding the medium well played main character Frank set into scene by Thomas Bo Larsen, to kill any hint of substance of reality. The list of positive aspects about this movie sadly includes, nothing more, nothing less, than "the movie is not a waste of time as long as you don't watch it". Only reason for not going further into the analysis of this movie picture, is merely because I don't think it deserves it. Two stars both go to Thomas Bo Larsen, for doing his part of the job. AE
el-28 It left me breathless! I was hanging off the edge of my seat for the entire film and covering my eyes continuously! The Ambulance is full of nerve-wrecking action - but I must say that my expectations were not met entirely on the comic aspects! After having seen the trailer and chosen to see this film on account of it being an action comedy - I was a little disappointed! In retrospect I think this is due to poor marketing - leading the audience to believe one thing but delivering another! It really IS a good film - it has many layers and was even touching - but when you are mislead in the marketing department you are bound to have some unsatisfied customers! So see this film with new eyes - definitely action - but more drama than comedy (not that it doesn't have some brilliant humor from time to time) - and judge for yourself!
Anders Jørgensen A quite uninteresting movie.Two criminals uses a ambulance as their escape vehicle. Of course this ambulance keeps an important role throughout the movie.This movie reminds a lot of the whole bunch of action comedies, that Denmark has produced in the last six-seven years. There is almost nothing new in this one. Just the fact that Thomas Bo Larsen once again plays a bad criminal says a lot about the lack of originality in this movie.The movie is actually quite short. Aprox. 1 hour and 15 minutes. But since the movie was very uninteresting, I was quite pleased that it was not any longer.I give it four out of ten.
