It left me breathless! I was hanging off the edge of my seat for the entire film and covering my eyes continuously! The Ambulance is full of nerve-wrecking action - but I must say that my expectations were not met entirely on the comic aspects! After having seen the trailer and chosen to see this film on account of it being an action comedy - I was a little disappointed! In retrospect I think this is due to poor marketing - leading the audience to believe one thing but delivering another! It really IS a good film - it has many layers and was even touching - but when you are mislead in the marketing department you are bound to have some unsatisfied customers! So see this film with new eyes - definitely action - but more drama than comedy (not that it doesn't have some brilliant humor from time to time) - and judge for yourself!

I saw the Danish film "Mellem Os" (Between Us) at Uppsala Short Film Festival and I think it deals with the subject of infidelity in a very different and unexpected way. Maybe it's too big a theme for such a short film (35 min), but I think because it tells the story with a lot of humor it actually works very well. Also up and coming Danish actress Helle Fagralid does an excellent job in this film - she is truly talented! I may have preferred another actor in the role of Adam but otherwise I think the production is very supportive of the story. Heard it was shortlisted for a real Oscar and then some rule prohibited it from participating due to it having been shown on TV??? Too bad! It stood a good chance!
