5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this movie!, February 23, 2002

This review is from: The Ambulance [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A wonderful, funny, and criminally overlooked thriller. Eric Roberts stars as a comic book writer (Stan Lee cameos as himself, Roberts' boss) who watches a girl on the street get taken away by an ambulance and then disappear. He starts to investigate with the help of a police detective (a hilarious James Earl Jones) but soon discovers he is in WAY over his head. The action scenes are alot of fun because Roberts doesn't turn into an action hero but stays consistent with his helpless everyman persona throughout (by the end, he is battered beyond all recognition and is only alive by pure luck). And Red Buttons steals all his scenes, as he should. Check this one out, you won't be disappointed.

Saw this movie about ten years ago and keep searching the web waiting for it to come out on DVD. It should! Eric Roberts was great right along with James Earl Jones and Red Buttons. Like they say in the biz, "A Must-see!!"

3.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing premise is given comical treatment., May 11, 2002

Eric Roberts is a comic book artist searching for a missing woman who he last saw placed in an ambulance. Intriguing premise from Larry Cohen is actually played for laughs more than anything else. Thankfully, once you get in the mood for it, it's pretty funny. The story slows down too often to create quirky characters, but when it moves, it's fitfully entertaining. Roberts is a lot of fun in the lead role.
