Ambulance director Michael Bay reveals the one condition it would take for him to direct a superhero movie. Bay is best known for hit movies like Bad Boys II, Transformers, and Armageddon, all films that feature copious amounts of action and a unique visual style. Bay's next movie, Ambulance, stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as two brothers who attempt to escape the authorities in an ambulance after a bank heist goes wrong.
Ambulance has earned somewhat mixed early reviews thus far, but trailers for the film would suggest that Bay has brought his signature brand of action back once more to the big screen. Ahead of the wide release of Ambulance, the director has found himself in the headlines for a number of comments, including reports that Bay criticized the CGI in Ambulance. While there is some truth to the comments, Bay has been praised for pushing the envelope in the new movie by using innovative drone shots to capture the action in a new way.
