Super big bank robbery, a bunch of cops, a couple of ambulance paramedics, a lot of shooting and car chases.

It’s a mess and one wonders why Gyllenhaal is in it, but he’s actually quite good. It’s exciting at times and clever at times but that’s because it’s a remake of the Danish film Ambulancen. I kind of like it, except for the boring parts.
