Movies that feel likeAmbulance (2022)

Decorated veteran Will Sharp, desperate for money to cover his wife's medical bills, asks for help from his adoptive brother Danny. A charismatic career criminal, Danny instead offers him a score: the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history: $32 million.

If you loved Ambulance, the closest films we have are Den of Thieves (2018), The Roundup: No Way Out (2023) and The Plagues of Breslau (2018). All three share Ambulance's kinetic and gritty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Dhoom 2 (2006).
