Ambulance is a 2022 American action thriller film directed by Michael Bay. It is a remake of the 2005 Danish film. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as adoptive brothers who hijack an ambulance after robbing a bank and take a paramedic (Eiza González) and an injured police officer (Jackson White) hostage.
The film was first announced in 2015 and went through several crew changes. In 2020, Bay came on board to direct after the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted his plans to shoot a different film. Filming took place in Los Angeles, in the midst of the pandemic, with cinematographer Roberto De Angelis. The score was composed by Lorne Balfe.
Ambulance was released in the United States on April 8, 2022, by Universal Pictures. The film underperformed at the box office, grossing $52 million on a budget of $40 million. It received mixed reviews from critics, with some praise for Gyllenhaal's performance and the action sequences.
