Emergency Movie Reviews

So basically nothing happens

Stupid, implausible desicion at the beginning of the film aside there was some potential here. The actors were great, there was a decent sense of tension and I was wondering which way the story was going to go, what terrible thing was going to happen and then…. nothing. In the end everything turns out ok for everyone* which made we question why I had bothered watching this at all.

*apart from the fact the main character is traumatised from having a gun pointed at him by the police and while I agree the way black people are often treated by the police is appalling and agree that this has terrible lasting consequences for individuals and society (which seemed to be the point the film was trying to make). The fact that the character was reported as having kidnapped a girl who was not breathing in his car which had just led the police on a high speed chase means the police weren’t at fault here at all, so it seemed a really strange situation to try and make the point with.

Haters gonna hate

Sabrina Carpenter was the only reason why i checked this movie out and im glad i did. The bad reviews are from people who don’t care about the experience of being a black person or don’t understand the story because they aren’t a black person in society. Common sense will say call the cops but look at society. Poor whites for the most part don’t even call the cops. It is known how cops profile others so I can understand why the characters did what they did instead of calling the cops. Again most will never know what its like so the ones who’s hating on the movie are the ones who most likely won’t know what it’s like. Glad I gave this a chance.

It didn’t do anything for me

As “Emergency” (2022 release; 106 min) opens, we are introduced to Sean and Kunie, 2 African-American college kids just months away from graduation. As they get back to the house they share with their friend Carlos, a (white) girl lies on the floor passed out. How did she get there? What happened? And what should they do to address the situation? Call 911? Or the cops?

Couple of comments: this movie is the feature-length debut of director Carey Williams. This is in fact the long version of his 2018 short film of the same name, which was well received. I haven’t seen the short film but I did read very positive press about the new feature-length, and that was good enough for me to check it out. As the movie started to unfold, I was waiting to see if this was expected to be a comedy, or a scary film, or perhaps a social commentary, or maybe all of the above. I kept waiting and waiting for it to take off and grab my attention. Alas, for whatever reason it never happened, at least not for me. I realize that I may well be in the minority on this, and that in fact this feature-length is being well received (it is currently rated 95% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). I really can’t explain why the film didn’t appeal to me. In fact it didn’t do anything for me, period.

“Emergency” had a limited theater run and premiered on Amazon Prime this weekend, which is where I saw it. I was really looking forward to it. I was as surprised as anyone that I did not care for it. Of course you don’t have to take my world for it, so I encourage you to check it out and draw your own conclusion.
