A fast-paced show with which its director once again demonstrated that he is a master of the genre
The life cycle of non-original films on platforms is to arrive, stay for a while and disappear. Then it’s a matter of luck that the title in question appears on another streaming service or becomes unavailable for an indeterminate period of time. Since we never know what is going to happen, it is always better to find out which ones are going to abandon a platform and today I have to talk to you about the case of ‘Ambulance. Escape plan’.
Fast-paced
The wonderful latest work of Michael Bay will leave Amazon Prime Video on May 16. Being a Universal production, it would be best if it ended up on SkyShowtime, but just in case, don’t miss the opportunity to see it if you still have the director’s best film since ‘The Rock’ pending.
Fairly loose remake of a 2005 Danish film, ‘Ambulance. Escape Plan’ is a fast-paced action thriller that gets straight to the point from minute 1. In addition, you can see Bay’s dedication behind the cameras, who makes the most of the tight budget of 40 million dollars to offer a first-class show. which makes much more expensive productions look ridiculous.
It also helps that it has characters that are sufficiently solvent for a title of these characteristics, relying on an effective contrast between Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen IIwith eiza Gonzalez offering a third point of support that serves to ensure that the film never becomes unbalanced, a very real danger due to ‘Ambulance’s marked tendency towards excess. Escape plan’.
Yes it is true that we are watching a movie more designed to be enjoyed in cinema, the best place for Bay’s arsenal of staging work to shine in style. However, the breakneck pace of ‘Ambulance. Escape Plan’ will surely also hook you if you see it at home and try to be free from any type of distraction.
By the way, despite that budget of 40 million, ‘Ambulance. Escape plan suffered an unfair failure in theaterssince it closed its commercial career with income of just 52.3 million.
