Jake Gyllenhaal drags Yahya Abdul-Mateen II into a dangerous heist in trailer for Michael Bay's Ambulance
Gyllenhaal plays a charismatic career criminal who offers help to Abdul-Mateen, his adoptive brother
Jake Gyllenhaal’s really been loving Danish cop-centric action remakes as of late, with Michael Bay’s Ambulance next up on the docket after he starred in The Guilty, which premiered on Netflix earlier this month. Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II lead Bay’s next feature, an action-packed heist film featuring lots of explosions, car crashes, and helicopter shots.
Candyman’s Abdul-Mateen stars in Ambulance as decorated veteran Will Sharp, who’s desperate for money to cover his wife’s medical bills. You know, because we have a terrible healthcare system and lack support for veterans once they return home. Sharp eventually finds himself asking for help from the one person he knows he shouldn’t—his adoptive brother Danny (Gyllenhaal).
A charismatic career criminal, Danny instead offers him an even better score: a fat $32 million. All it requires is his help to pull off a massive but easy peasy bank heist, which, of course, could not go worse.
