The Ambulance actually turned out to be a pretty funny, yet bizarre thriller. Reviewed by vertigo_14 8 / 10 / 10 Low-budget black comedy thriller is just what the doctor ordered. Red Buttons is enjoyably snappy and Cohen regular James Dixon shows up too. Eric Braeden is suitably clinical as "the doctor" that's behind the kidnappings and Megan Gallagher offers good support as a police officer we can trust. He thinks there might just be more to it, as he uncovers and now he's running for his life with no one believing him there's a phantom ambulance kidnapping people. So he goes to one hospital after another with no such luck. An incident sees her collapsing with Josh by her side and then a mysterious vintage ambulance appears and whisks her off. Roberts' plays Josh Baker a comic book artist who one day goes about asking out the women of his dreams (a stunning Janine Turner) who he sees everyday out on the streets of New York.

The plot takes on a modern approach to its mad doctor formula, staying quite dark and full of mystery in the chase/or race to uncover the truth while also trying to convince people of the threat. Especially its cheesy climax in a night club with some berserk ambulance driving and of course its irony-laced revelation that you won't see coming. There always seems to be some sort of threat at every turn for Robert's character and this keeps it excitingly intense, if daftly over-the-top with comedic results.

Moving at a fast, uniformed tempo, Cohen's boldly tight direction never lets up (where he knows how to shoot on location for maximum effect) and his writing manages to stay one step ahead as you get pulled along for the dangerous ride with its engineered thrills. The concept is audaciously ludicrous and Eric Roberts' ham-fisted lead performance is full of energy (and lets not forget that hypnotic mullet when in motion), along with James Earl Jones small, but cynically meaty role as a rundown detective on the edge. It might not be one of Cohen's highly regarded pieces, but "The Ambulance" is a fun, gripping slice of paranoia with an injection of black humour. I hadn't seen "The Ambulance" for quite awhile, but I had a good time re-visiting it and this was one of the first works I had seen of filmmaker Larry Cohen. Reviewed by lost-in-limbo 8 / 10 / 10 "Where have I seen this face before". I simply cannot take a lead male seriously with a mullet.except Joe Dirt Kudos to Stan Lee being cast as Stan Lee. Regardless however the competence of the cast, the concept and an odd amount of comedy make for a passable film. Though I love the concept I don't think it was utilized well and I'd love to see this remade. Roberts though a hokey actor manages to deliver here as does the rest of the stellar cast. I like the idea, though I've seen things with a similiar concept before the addition of the ambulance really made it interesting. When he tries to visit her however he learns she was never brought in and may be one of a number of missing persons connected to this old ambulance. It tells the story of a man who finally makes a move on the woman of his dreams only to witness her collapse and get taken away by an ambulance (I too have that effect on women). Starring Eric Roberts, James Earl Jones and Meghan Gallagher this early 90's thriller actually succeeds in entertaining.
