Jake Gyllenhaal holding a gun with white powder on his face in Ambulance
Summary Ambulance starring Jake Gyllenhaal ascends to the global Netflix top 10 chart 2 years after hitting theaters. Directed by Michael Bay, Ambulance stars Gyllenhaal as Danny Sharp, a thief who finds himself on the run in a stolen ambulance with his brother, Will , after a bank robbery goes wrong. Despite generally positive reviews from critics, the film was a box office disappointment, grossing only $52.3 million worldwide.
Why Ambulance Disappointed At The Box Office Positive Reviews Didn't Save The Michael Bay Movie Close Ambulance marks Bay's follow-up to 6 Underground in 2019 and Transformers: The Last Knight in 2017, neither of which were well received. The Ambulance reviews, however, generally praised the film as a fun bit of "Bayhem" with lots of action and an entertaining lead performance from Gyllenhaal.
Unfortunately, however, this positive audience sentiment wasn't reflected in Ambulance's box office performance as the film likely failed to break-even with its $40 million budget. One reason is certainly the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the writing was on the wall before COVID, the pandemic largely made audiences far more picky about what movies are worth seeing in theaters, and the Bay action movie seemingly didn't make the cut.
