Code 3

In this film, we follow a burned-out paramedic during his last 24-hour shift as he, along with a former colleague and an inexperienced trainee, navigates a night of chaotic and emotionally charged emergency calls.

Code 3 is billed as action, but it feels more like a mix of comedy and drama. The film realistically portrays how difficult and often undervalued the work of a paramedic is. This message resonates strongly because, unfortunately, it's often true beyond the silver screen.

Rainn Wilson delivers an impressive performance and elevates the film to a higher level. The interplay of dark humor, harsh reality, and sharp dialogue keeps the tone engaging, while the interplay between Randy, Mike, and Jessica creates a vibrant dynamic, with a nice balance of experience, cynicism, and fresh energy.

The message is clear: appreciate our paramedics and all emergency services, because we cannot do without them.

3.5 stars.

Paramedic Randy [Rainn Wilson] resigns because he's on the verge of burnout due to workload, insufficient appreciation, and frequent hostility. During his final shift, he's joined by driver Mike [Lil Rel Howery] and nurse trainee Jessica [Aimee Carreo]. Wilson excels in this entertaining black comedy, which, due to sudden shifts in tone, doesn't quite manage to convey its satirical elements.

"I Can Fix Broken. I Can't Fix Dead."

The emotional depth of this film surprised me. The harsh reality of this industry is portrayed in a very realistic yet entertaining way.

Feet in the air and just watch… Finally made room for… I sat on the edge of my seat for the entire duration.

****1/2
