Why watch this film?
Michael Bay (known for the 'Transformers' saga) is undoubtedly a controversial director. Some love his explosive style, with frenzied action, explosions everywhere and a visual that resembles music videos. Others hate it, with no patience for his cinema that seems to come from an industrial park: always the same, with the same mannerisms and exaggerations of the story to the visuals. After all, 'Ambulance: A Crime Day' is an undeniably Michael Bay movie: even with much fewer explosions, it is an inflated action feature film, which exaggerates in tone, talking about a robbery that goes wrong and, desperate, two criminals (Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) kidnap an ambulance with an injured policeman and a doctor inside (Eiza González). There are good moments here, especially when Bay gives up logic, embraces absurdity and flirts with surrealism in the pursuit that crosses the city of Los Angeles. Those who do not like Bay will be bothered by the amount of images made with drones and the exaggerated duration of 2h16. In the end, however, 'Ambulance: A Crime Day' may be the movie that opens up the most space for Michael Bay's detractors to dive headfirst into his cinema and, who knows, find some fun in this senseless but entertaining story.

Armageddon
You have to say it: 'Armageddon' isn't exactly a good movie, and some laws of physics are glaringly absent. However, the spectacular special effects, plus the "star power" of Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck made it a hugely successful movie at the time. Special mention for the main theme composed by Aerosmith, which is now considered a classic.
6 Underground
This is an action movie directed by Michael "Explosions" Bay, so if you've already seen 'Armageddon' or 'Transformers', you know exactly what to expect: explosive and fast-paced action. Within that, '6 Underground' brings a simple story, which serves only as a pretext for extremely visual and choreographed action. The big plus of the movie is the international cast, led by Ryan Reynolds ('Deadpool'), and including French Mélanie Laurent ('Inglourious Basterds'), Puerto Rican Adria Arjona ('Circle of Fire: The Revolt'), Mexican Manuel García-Rulfo ('Perfect Strangers') and English Ben Hardy ('Bohemian Rhapsody'), among others.
