Ambulance

Michael Bay “certainly sticks to his cinematic wheelhouse,” said Frank Scheck in The Hollywood Reporter. The Transformers director’s maximalist, high-octane visual style anchors this overstuffed thriller, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal andYahya AbdulMateen II as brothers who rob a bank to pay for an experimental cancer treatment and then flee in an ambulance with a pair of hostages. As this “decently premised B-movie” stretches past two hours, it becomes “exhausting, and not in a good way.” (In theaters only) R

Nitram

“You may well wonder at this point who needs to see another movie about the making of a mass murderer,” said Justin Chang in NPR.org. But Justin Kurzel’s “coolly observed and deeply unsettling” movie, which follows a troubled young man in the weeks before he orchestrates a mass shooting, is “scarily effective” because it resists extending sympathy or offering easy answers. Based on a real-life 1996 Australian incident, this film makes the “compassionate” choice to keep actual violence almost entirely off-screen. (On AMC+ or $6 on demand) Not rated

You Are Not My Mother

Irish filmmakers sure are producing a lot of great horror films these days, said Sheila O’Malley in RogerEbert.com. The latest comes from Kate Dolan, whose “extremely confident” directorial debut follows a cowed teenage girl who lives outside Dublin with a mother and grandmother who are hiding something from her. “The final sequences are the only ‘stock’ moments in this family drama,” but “the rest is so effective and emotional, it doesn’t matter.” (In theaters or $7 on demand) Not rated
