"The Ambulance" is another nice movie that shows the reality of a man for people to watch. I've seen good men turn the other way round when things becomes extremely difficult for them. This is a robbery action movie that showed how two good brothers ended up on the streets LA in a police chase after robbing a federal bank.
It was since a while ago the two brothers, Danny Sharp and Will Sharp meet. Wills needed some help with his finances and decided to seek help through his brother Jake, who acted as Danny Sharp in the movie. Wills needed a job because he'd lost his and need to take care of his responsibilities at home. Danny on the other hand was doing pretty well but through illegal activities. When Wills came to him as a brother to solicit for help, he instead lured the guy into an epic operation they've planned to go for at that particular moment.
My comments about the movie..
Wills was a good guy that found himself in between a hard option to change his life for the best or for the worst. He knew that was not his path of operation but desperation took the best form of his thoughts and he gave in to join them in that operation. It's somehow difficult for me to make comments about issues like this since I started viewing things from these perpetrators angle. Imagine your pregnant wife in labour and you as the provider you cannot provide the money needed for her hospital care. Situations like this makes people forget their conscience to ensure they survive or get out of that tight corner.
While I don't support anybody doing evil for whatsoever reason, I try not to completely condemn or judge people for breaking certain rules (Not applicable to grievous/intentional misconducts) I put them in my prayers better than I use to.
Back to the
The gang made their tactics and succeeded into the bank. The robbed the bank and in the process some two cop came around. That marked the beginning of their problems. One of the cop seems to notice strange movement in the bank and although he wasn't sure if it was illegal activities going on, he reluctantly marched to the major door of the bank and knocked.
Danny came out of the bank and asked the cop to come back the next time because the bank was on busy with other stuffs and won't be able to attend to them. The cop insisted he gets in since it won't take time for him to just do what he wants to do and get out. He made it in and the other gang members hide behind walls. In everything that conspired, the other cop outside got to find out it was a robbery when he saw his colleague been dragged outside. He started shooting and that was were the long saga started.
More LAPD came in in their large numbers, special force and more police men. Wills and Danny was together with the cop trying to run outside while the other gang members engaged the cops in a round of gunshots. Guns blazing the gang members faced a terrific annihilation. While Danny and Will was trying to make their way out, the cop in their hostage attempted to outsmart Danny and got shot by Wills. The remorse on Will's eyes was evident that his conscience was alive and this was never his path to follow, situation plus influence got him there.
As the gun fire kept on going between the cops, Danny and his guy Wills, the brave Ambulance officers came in to the rescue of the Cop that got shot. Danny and Wills Found a way to hijack the Ambulance so they can leave the scene because there wasn't any free way for them to escape as cops have surrounded everywhere around the bank. They made it out after forcing the lady officer in the Ambulance to help them escape the multitude of cops surrounding the scene. She did that under duress of which the presence of the injured cop in the Ambulance vehicle helped them passed the well-trained cops.
The chase didn't started until the cops later found Eiza's colleague that was pushed down the Ambulance car before it was hijacked. The chase made the movie more interesting.
My Take-------
I really don't like to get involved in places or things I know my mind isn't free with. I don't believe in spoiling the other eggs because one is bad. Wills wasn't a bad guy but he let Danny his guy manipulate him into doing what wasn't his thing in the first place.
When he got into the mess he had the chance to surrender and not be killed but Danny gingered the whole thing and Wills kept diving deeper into more chaos. He has committed an offence but adding more to it doesn't ease the punishment but worsen it.
Back to the story.
The chase lasted for a very long time and we could see how Wills cared for the injured cop in the ambulance vehicle to the point he donated blood just so the cop survives. Well, I think that also helped saved their lives because the cop was the reason Danny and Wills weren't obliterated right from onset when the cop had the chance to complete their mission.
At the end Danny's father business partners stepped in to help them but the reward for their actions still located them regardless. Wills got shot mistakenly while trying to protect Eiza and the Cop in the Ambulance. Wills was later arrested but Danny was shot dead and that marks the end of the entire gang members.
My Final Take....
Don't do it because others are doing it. You don't have to win at once before you are a winner. Sometimes more patience and good strategy can save you from setting up yourself into danger. And whenever you get into a mess, don't try pushing yourself deeper into it, it's ok to look back and start up from somewhere again. It's ok to admit wrongs and find a way to make things up.
Wills almost lost his life and making his beautiful wife a widow but he got lucky at the end, he got shot but was still able to get his wife and kid some money before going to prison.
Thank you for reading all through..
