Last night, my action brother Eoin Friel over at The Action Elite invited me onto a bonus episode of TAE Live: The War Room. This episode, we delved into the recently released Michael Bay helmed action-thriller Ambulance which stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. This film is one of our favorites from this year so far and we serve up our thoughts on it as well as Bay’s arsenal of action hits throughout the years. We also give our top 5 Michael Bay films as icing on the cake. Check it out below!
n this breakneck thriller film, decorated veteran Will Sharp, desperate for money to cover his wife’s medical bills, asks for help from the one person he knows he shouldn’t—his adoptive brother Danny,” reads the official synopsis. “A charismatic career criminal, Danny instead offers him a score: the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history: $32 million. With his wife’s survival on the line, Will can’t say no. But when their getaway goes spectacularly wrong, the desperate brothers hijack an ambulance with a wounded cop clinging to life and ace EMT Cam Thompson onboard. In a high-speed pursuit that never stops, Will and Danny must evade a massive, city-wide law enforcement response, keep their hostages alive, and somehow try not to kill each other, all while executing the most insane escape L.A. has ever seen.
