Eric Roberts is great in this one.
Siskoid
Look folks, if Larry Cohen's The Ambulance wants to give me Eric Roberts as a Marvel comics artist trying to uncover a conspiracy to kidnap diabetics off the streets of New York to conduct illegal experiments on them, James Earl Jones as a cop on the edge with a very strange relationship to comics (did he grow up believing Fredric Wertham?!), Red Buttons as an old journalist who just wants to escape his doctors, and Meghan Gallagher (China Beach) as the one sexy cop who believes our hero, I'm going to give it a good review! Cohen's films are nuts in the best possible way, which is to say they know when to wink at the camera and never take themselves too seriously, while also keeping the level of tension up. Lots of memorable moments and characters in this one, and it's based on a believable anxiety: If an ambulance comes and takes me, what if I'm never heard from again? But guys, is this really what the Marvel Bullpen was like in 1990?
