This is a pretty good movie, especially for people that enjoy medical dramas like Grey's Anatomy.

The acting of the main female EMT is pretty solid, as well as the acting of the two criminals. The non wounded criminal knows his role in the situation and is convincingly motivated by his wounded brother. The male EMT is choppy at times but all-around okay.

As the lead, she does very well. She tries to balance making it out of the situation with giving proper medical care. The action seems to flow very well, with the events seeming to unfold in a convincing manner.

I don't understand the hate given by some of the other reviewers, it's not the best movie in the world but for an evening movie to watch with some popcorn, it's not a bad pick at all.

I really enjoyed this movie, was great to see Dania Ramirez play a confident and no nonsense character. I've watched her in Devious Maids and although that show is very entertaining and Dania Ramirez's acting is spot on, she plays a much more weak willed character in that and one who constantly struggles with her morals...whereas in this movie, we see a whole different side to her. It was refreshing. Though I guess that's a sign that she's a good Actress, one capable of playing varied roles as there are many Actors/Actresses who often play a similar role in most of their movies. This movie kept me gripped from the beginning and I would more class it as genre type Thriller/Drama, as opposed to just Drama. Drama's have very little action in them, whereas this had quite a bit. Kristopher Turner's character was well played as well, playing the other dutiful Paramedic but also battling with trying to do the right thing and avoid getting them both killed, knowing he has a family who depend on him at home and cannot afford any have anything to happen to him, but at the same time being concerned with his 'lack of edge' as man...which forced his partner to be the one to enforce the difficult choices and basically be the one to attempt defence attacks on the kidnappers. It was also nice that the movie had a bit of a twist at the end with Adam Butchers character, not a major one, but a twist none-the-less.

All in all, I'd say this movie is definitely worth a watch and an enjoyable one at that

Two EMT paramedics (Danila Ramirez and Christopher Turner) are hijacked by brother robbers, who have just stolen a fortune and are on the run - however, one of the brothers, Dermot, was shot and is badly injured. The other brother, Austin, will not allow the paramedics to go to a hospital. He insists that the two help his brother.

This film was okay but not without problems. The first thing was, how stupid were the people at the ambulance company that they didn't realize there's a problem when the EMT vehicle never returned after going off shift, and the PMs were unreachable by radio and cell phone? Talk about taking your time - "well, watch it." I'd have plenty to say to dispatch about that when I returned - if I did.

The other thing was the female character, Camilla (Ramirez) has flashbacks showing a past relationship. Unnecessary.

There was some suspense. The acting was decent. One of my favorite actors from the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, Graham Abbey, had a role.

The thing i liked with this movie was the fact that it was not like similar movies when u know the outcome already after 5min. And also the fact that things did or did not happen like me as a viewer expected to happen. That keeps viewers from getting bored. Overall an OK movie. Without unnecessary scenarios. The scenes with Camilla's flashbacks did I not get though

As a Paramedic, this was a disgrace to our profession! Nothing plausible in the whole film, acting as bad as the writing!

Other reviews obviously from someone involved with this junk, no way anyone could enjoy this turd!

Just Bad, bad, bad, bad!

Avoid at all costs!

Not worth with bandwidth to download.

Shameful production!

Nothing more to say, except hoe terrible this flop is!

In case I was unclear, I hated everything about this!
