Ambulance (2022) movie summary
Ambulance tells the story of an army veteran named William Sharp who needs money to pay for his wife's surgery. Will is then forced to visit his adopted brother, Danny Sharp, who has lived a life of crime for so long. To get money, Will is forced to follow Danny's invitation to rob a bank.
With a duration of 136 minutes or 2 hours 16 minutes, this film mostly features acts of robbery with dramatic chase scenes. The core story of Ambulance is how a pair of bank robbers try to escape from the police by using an ambulance.
During the robbery, one of them accidentally shot the police. The victim was taken by an ambulance containing medical personnel, Cam Thompson (Eiza González). Not long after that, the two brothers hijacked the Ambulance.
Without hesitation, Danny also fired shots at anyone who was in his way. On the other hand, Will can't bear to see a policeman who is shot and dying. The human side of Will the Robber then emerges. He helped the police by donating blood. The heroic actions of the bank robbers did not end there. This is what makes the villain's sentence not always evil.
Most of the scenes in this film are set on the streets of Los Angeles, in an ambulance and a police car. In addition, the Ambulance also displays great action scenes from the start to the end of the film.
*Fun fact:
The helicopter chase sequence was not part of the original script. Still, Michael Bay came up with the idea after 2 helicopters became available. Instead of hiring stunt performers for the sequence, Jake Gyllenhaal was hanging off the side of an ambulance's door as he shot at pursuing helicopters while Yahya Abdul-Mateen II drove. With a lot of effort from Micheal Bay's filming team and the helicopter pilot Fred North, it took 2 hours and 30 mins to have that particular scene shot.
Ambulance (2022): Casio G-Shock G-SQUAD GBD-100-1 Watch
Eiza González wears a Casio G-Shock G-SQUAD GBD-100-1 watch in the movie Ambulance (2022). The watch is clearly visible on her wrist in many of her close-up scenes.
Casio G-Shock G-SQUAD GBD-100-1 Watch Review
For the front design of the G-Shock GBD-100-1, the DNA of the tough and strong G-Shock can still be clearly seen. One of them is the characteristic of the bezel, which also stands out to protect several buttons on the left and right. The protruding bezel design known as the button protector is, of course, the function that will receive a blow when it is hit or dropped so that the effect of the impact does not directly affect the part of the button, which is usually connected directly to the module.
In the GBD-100-1 model itself, you have to open the wing at the top of the pin to open this resin strap. We also didn't find the quick release Casio has recently used on almost all of their recent G-Shock models. This wing section itself is characteristic of several G-Squad models, such as the GBD-800 and GBA-800.
Because it was designed to accompany your sports activities, the G-Shock GBD-100 is certainly designed to be as compact and light as possible. With a total weight of 69 grams, this watch feels very light when we try to wear it. Of course, with that weight, it won't be a problem when you have to jog/exercise for a few hours.
In addition to the features of the G-SQUAD lineup, this timepiece is equipped with Bluetooth® capability that allows continuous connection with your phone to support automatic time setting, phone notifications, step tracking and other functions throughout the day. Plus, this watch can connect with the GPS on a smartphone for faster calibration of distance measurements, allowing for more accurate measurement of running distances, even when used without a cellphone connection. That said, battery life is about two years between replacements.
