An enjoyable cheap time-passer.

"Ambush" is a B-movie with a most unusual bit of casting. Ernest Truex was a tiny man and almost always played moussey, shy sorts of fellows...yet here, he's a mob boss with a penchant for robberies and murder!

The film begins with the bandit gang stealing nearly $100,000...thanks to a weasel truck driver who is in the gang. His longsuffering sister is trying to get him to turn his life around...and for her trouble, she is taken prisoner! Later, nice-guy truck driver, Tony (Lloyd Nolan), is also taken prisoner and the pair are nearly constantly threatened with death unless they cooperate. So how will they possibly escape?

The film is nothing remarkable but very watchable. My only complaint is the use of a horrible cliche near the end. When Tony and the gang boss are fighting and the gun goes flying, the dumb lady just stands there...doing NOTHING. This makes no sense and is a cliche that is way overused in movies. Dumb but an otherwise decent crime film.
