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

Not like other movies
Flawed but fun
Saw this while browsing the movies on Bigscreen VR and it caught my attention. Some of the situations make you wonder if that is how it would go in real life, the writing is a little flawed there. Whether it is the likeable paramedics backed by excellent actors or the tense situation they've been placed into, something had me invested in seeing things play out safely. The movie really likes keep you feeling like somebody can die at each scene.. all in all worth a watch.
Kept me gripped!!!
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
