Recently, Universal's R-rated (restricted, movies under the age of 17 that must be accompanied by parents or guardians) action crime film "Death Ambulance" was introduced into Chinese cinemas. The film is arguably a fan-to-fan film, starring Jack Gyllenhaal, the recently popular black actor Yahya Abdul-Meiding, and Latin beauty Elsa Gonzalez. Jack Gyllenhaal is well known to Chinese audiences for countless film and television works: "The Day After Tomorrow", "Brokeback Mountain", "Zodiac Belt" and "Brothers". Through the many films he starred in, the audience will see the shadow of everyone in reality. Jack Gyllenhaal has starred in many police films, and this time his role has been constantly oscillating between good and evil, not only the madness of outlaws, but also the righteousness of brotherhood. Independent, cold, tough, the charm of brotherhood on the silver screen of the film seems to be better than all the movies he has acted in.

The film was directed by the famous Popcorn Film Director in Hollywood, Michael Bay. 10 years ago, the "Transformers" series repeatedly hit new box office highs, making him the director who has been the highest grossing director in China for many years. Its nickname "Explosion Shell" comes from the Guinness World Record for the largest explosion scene set by the director when filming "Pearl Harbor" that year. The biggest highlight of the film is this, there is no dragging plot throughout the process, or the original director's familiar recipe flavor.

First of all, the iconic explosions, gun battles, crashes, cool moving shots, high-energy action movie routes, thrilling action blockbuster scenes, and compact story rhythm make this the wildest and most exciting police escape case ever in Los Angeles can continue to excite people and achieve shocking and realistic scene effects. If you are in a theater with a good viewing effect, you can create an immersive sense of immersion in an all-round way.

Secondly, in addition to the explosion, the car chase scene in "Outlaw Ambulance" is also a major play. On the one hand, there is an overwhelming number of police and FBI personnel chasing and blocking, and on the other hand, the police officers in the ambulance who are dying, the dilemma between good and evil. Veteran Will's driving skills are cool, he can drive the ambulance out of the "Head Text D", "Fast and Furious", "Flying Life" and other classic racing movies, nervous, exciting, super cool, decompression. With the car chase movie as the main line, like the Los Angeles street version of "Fast and Furious", and mixed with the scenes of classic movies such as "Life and Death Speed", "Hot Day Afternoon" and "Jedi X-Men". Ambulances and multiple police cars, helicopters fly low-altitude battles, chases through the real streets and highways of Los Angeles, and fancy duels in the rain of bullets. Especially under the overpass with a rifle to hit the helicopter, the criminal crashed into the front windshield shattered and other scenes, it is simply the tip of the needle to Mai Mang, cool!

Third, the film adopts a variety of mirror expression methods, and the visual impact of the first perspective through the machine is unique and accurate. Examples include navigating low in narrow garages, looking down around the lobby, and swooping down from tall buildings at high speeds. Technical equipment, visual aesthetics, lens switching, etc., to create a ceiling-level chase scene. The visual spectacle of the film also lies in the rotation of the slow motion, and the rotation of the characters at 180 degrees, 270 degrees, 360 degrees, etc., makes the background fly like a marquee. Coupled with the shaking sense of switching handheld lenses in the middle, such a editing rhythm makes the camera continuous, and its vertigo feels like "Spy Heavy 5", which makes people feel immersed in the scene of the gunfight.

Finally, Los Angeles, where the filming was filmed, is a microcosm of the diversity of American cinema, immigrant culture and street trends. The original graffiti styles of Upper Town, Midtown district and Downtown District of Los Angeles are inadvertently displayed along with the protagonist's escape route. Although the overly full audio-visual scenes lack breathing time, like a two-hour roller coaster ride or extreme sports, there is no feeling of dizziness and fatigue. In a word, watching the movie of "exploding shells", cool is enough!

Of course, in addition to the shocking visual feast, the emotions of the plot also show a pair of sincere and contradictory brotherhood for the audience. Danny, played by Jack Gyllenhaal, is a veteran of bank robbery who gets the true biography of the robber's father and has never lost his hand over the years. Will was adopted by danny's family as a child, but was an upright and principled veteran. In order to raise money for his wife's medical treatment, he was accidentally pulled down by Danny to rob the bank. The money was grabbed, but it was chased and intercepted by the police, and the two brothers grabbed the policeman who was injured by them, the ambulance where they were located, and began to flee for their lives, and there was a female medical ambulance on the car.

There are two most touching places in the film, one is that the female medical ambulance awakens the emotions of the police at the end of the film and rescues Will, the sentence "He saved your partner (police) a life", highlighting the entanglement of money and human nature, as well as the complexity of human nature, and the protagonists become friends and redeem each other through communication similar to road movies. Will gave the injured police a lot of blood transfusions and advised his brother not to shoot the female paramedic. In addition, female medical rescuers also have a shining point of humanity, and the sublimeness of protecting life is admirable. She rushed to the scene as soon as she received the emergency call, not only for the professional treatment of the injured police, but also for the emergency rescue of the injured bandits on the way to escape, the disposal efficiency is high, reflecting that life is not distinguished between high and low, and everyone's life is worth cherishing.

The second is the "outlaw brother" with very different personalities, and the emotional elements shown in the film make the whole story more full. The brothers Danny and Will are not brothers, but they play from childhood to victory like relatives. In the face of the fierce gangsters, the brothers unanimously went out, and Danny shot the gangsters who helped them break through, responding with a sentence: "You just said that he is not my brother, he is my brother!" What kind of affection and tacit understanding must be needed to say such a thing, the action of fighting side by side, so that the brotherhood is deeply attached, the so-called iron-blooded tenderness, has always been a sharp weapon applied to the audience's weakness.

The film is full of explosions and car chases from beginning to end, but if you think about it, there are many sad places, which are rendered by the director through songs similar to road movies, and understated. For example, the two brothers sang songs in the ambulance on the escape highway<sailing>, and perhaps the trajectory of the two brothers' lives has changed since childhood - one is a thief in Jiangyang and the other is a retired navy. But Danny must also protect his brother's life before he will be shot by swatten police at the end of the film, which is a portrayal of the brotherhood of "life and death, you have me". At this time, he may no longer have weaknesses or fears. He unleashed the radiance of humanity and tried to protect the flickering shimmer, pushing open the ambulance door and shouting, "My brother has done nothing, he is a good man." After the two people were shot, they were controlled by the SWAT police and knelt on the ground, and their eyes seemed to see the childhood scene of the past two little guesses playing together. The overlap of light and shadow, such a musical plot rendering sensational, so that the film is not covered by a wave of cool visual effects scenes higher than a wave, so that the author is deeply impressed and even moved to tears.
