#Michael Bay Returns With A New Action Thriller

“Ambulance” is a loose remake of a 2005 Danish movie called “Ambulancen,” which followed two brothers who used an ambulance as their getaway vehicle after a robbery gone wrong. This new version tweaks that premise just slightly: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II plays a guy who desperately needs money for his wife’s surgery, and he approaches an old friend (Gyllenhaal) who ropes him into a $32 million heist. Naturally, things don’t go as planned: a cop is shot at the scene, and the guys steal the ambulance with the officer and a paramedic (Eiza González) in the back.

One thing’s for sure: Bay is willing to go to extreme lengths to achieve the shots he wants. Earlier this year, he shared a video from the set of a huge explosion that caused a fiery car to spin and crash into a parked car just inches away from crew members, while another vehicle actually skidded into the camera dolly. It was a stunt that, if anything went wrong, could easily have resulted in multiple deaths – or, at the very least, a damaged camera, which would be wildly expensive. Bay tried to downplay the danger, but the video speaks for itself. Hopefully the whole crew made it through the entire production unscathed.
