Story:
Action thriller directed by Michael Bay. Ambulance (2022) follows decorated veteran Will Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who is desperate for money to cover his wife’s medical bills, and asks for help from his adoptive brother, Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal), a charismatic career criminal. However, Danny instead offers him a score, the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history. But when their getaway goes wrong, they hijack an ambulance with a wounded cop clinging to life, and ace EMT, Cam Thompson (Eiza González), onboard. In a high-speed pursuit that never stops, Will and Danny must evade a massive, city-wide law enforcement response, keep their hostages alive, and somehow try not to kill each other, while executing the most insane escape.

Danny Sharp: [laughs] Seriously. Because that would be bad for my job, you know.
Officer Zach: I promise.
Danny Sharp: [to Zach] These are the decisions that matter in life, so let me give you all the information before you decide. Okay, I have two guns. Fully auto. One’s aimed at you, and the other one’s at Kim, your girlfriend. I have you, the tellers, and nine employees in the back, and your partner outside, and it’s up to you to make sure that they are all safe. Yeah, kind of a heavy burden. I need you to nod if you understand, Officer. Now, take your f***ing hand off the weapon. Give me a big smile and wave at your partner.
Danny Sharp: [to the people in the bank] You are all going to have the greatest story to tell at dinner tonight!

Cam Thompson: It’s Cam. My name is Cam.
Danny Sharp: Oh, no way. My name’s Daniel. But I prefer Danny. I don’t give a f***!
Danny Sharp: [to Cam] Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to point the gun at you. I don’t really like pointing guns at anybody. It’s not really my thing. But like when you… I mean, what was I supposed to do, you know? I know it’s funny, but it’s, I’m sort of more of the sensitive one of the two of us.
