Michael Bay has a knack for explosions - massive explosions. Ambulance, his newest flick, just got its first trailer, and the film appears to keep that reputation intact.
In the film, decorated veteran Will Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is in desperate need of money to cover his wife’s medical bills. Against every inkling in his body, he seeks help from the one man he shouldn’t - his adoptive brother Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal). Danny, a career criminal, never goes small, pitching a bank robbery that would be the biggest in Los Angeles history: $32 million. But it wouldn’t be a movie if everything went according to plan.
Bay appears to deliver on high octane thrills as the trailer showcases a wealth of chaos and destruction as two brothers attempt to evade a city-wide pursuit. As one would expect, a beautiful woman falls into the formula by way of EMT Cam Thompson (Eiza González). The three are about to have their lives changed forever as they trek across the LA grid in a desperate attempt at safety and fresh air.
Ambulance, directed by Bay from a screenplay by “Prodigal Son” scribe Chris Fedak is set to invade theaters February 18.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
