On his last 24-hour shift, a burned-out EMT trains a rookie in this Rainn Wilson dark comedy. Rated MA 15+ for language throughout, violent/bloody images, drug material and brief graphic nudity. Reviews warn of decapitated corpses, impaled eyes and mental-health crises played for dark humor. Powerful but harrowing for anyone sensitive to real-world emergencies.
Uplifting themes
Unsung heroism of EMS workers amid systemic strain Veterans mentor rookies but struggle to model healthy coping
Story (may spoil tone)
A burned-out paramedic tries to survive his last 24 hours on the job while training a new recruit.
