Never having heard about the 1990 thriller "The Ambulance" before now in 2022, as I stumbled upon the movie by random chance, of course I opted to sit down and watch the movie.
Initially I wasn't really expecting a whole lot from writer and director Larry Cohen, given the fact that the movie was having Eric Roberts in the leading role. But still, I opted to watch it, since I had never actually seen the movie before.
And I will say that "The Ambulance" was watchable. It was definitely an archetypical 1990s action thriller, but with that being said, then you should keen in mind that it wasn't a particularly outstanding or memorable one. Sure, "The Ambulance" can be watched once, but that was essentially also all there was to the movie.
The storyline was actually fair enough, and it was certainly a nice approach to the thriller genre. I did like the concept idea, I will give writer Larry Cohen that much credit.
The acting in the movie was what it was. You know, you have Eric Roberts in the leading role, and that pretty much says it all. The movie also had Janine Turner on the cast list, despite in a very small role. "The Ambulance" also had James Earl Jones and Red Buttons on the cast list, and none other than Stan Lee himself.
All in all, then "The Ambulance" was fair enough for a single viewing. However, this is not a movie that I will ever be returning to watch a second time.
My rating of "The Ambulance" lands on a five out of ten stars.
