Now streaming: Yes, ‘Ambulance’ is stupid — but oh boy, is it fun
Michael Bay's “Ambulance” is a bifurcated mess that can’t decide what kind of movie it wants to be and so chooses instead to be several movies at once.

The new Amazon Studios film "Emergency" has all the ingredients of a classic "one wild night" story, and it is that — hard to imagine a movie in which someone shoots pepper-spray into their own face after jabbing a stranger repeatedly in the butt with a big stick could be anything else.
