"Emergency intelligently blends impactful social commentary with an occasionally unbalanced dark humor, but it's the extremely tense, captivating, frighteningly realistic story that ultimately grabs the audience's undivided attention.
KD Dávila offers a thought-provoking screenplay filled with hypocritical jokes and a simple premise that gradually becomes a terrifying, race-related nightmare. Donald Elise Watkins and RJ Cyler give remarkable performances as the two compelling protagonists who Carey Williams takes through escalating plot points, culminating in an incredibly powerful, suspenseful climax.
Some people may look at this as just another story, but sadly, the real world is no longer that far away from fiction."
Rating: B+
