Code 3

 

Wilson plays a grumpy veteran paramedic of 18 years who is completely burned out and retiring and on his last 24hr shift he has to train a new employee. Honestly, with this cast I was expecting some lame-brained comedy about an ambulance driver, but since I really enjoy Rainn Wilson I thought I'd give it a try and am I glad I did. This was an extremely well done character study about the challenges of being an EMT with just hints of humor mixed in the narrative. Wilson once again proves himself to be completely underrated as an actor as he gives a heartfelt and believable performance. An indy release, this is the type of film that can easily fly under your radar, don't let it. A unexpected gem.
