This series focuses on the one and only Michael Bay. Attempting to deconstruct his filmography, one film at a time. Usually I would say that the ideas explored here may or may not end up in my Dissertation about Michael Bay and Post-Cinema (if I inevitably decide to do my MSc Dissertation on this topic).
However, I am done with my MSc.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t talk about these movies. And to answer the question: Does it ever rain in a Michael Bay movie?
First off… an apology. This movie has been out for months. I saw it in the cinema. It was my first experience watching a Michael Bay movie on the big screen, yet I was not able to even write 2 words on the film (let alone however many this will end up being) as I was too busy wrapped up in my MSc. Which, as you may have read, is now over.
AMBULANCE is a high-concept low-budget action thriller (seriously, this thing cost $40m). It is basically one of those movies that came out post-DIE HARD. You know, DIE HARD on a [insert producers idea here]. This however, is SPEED in an ambulance. With a huge dose of prime-Bayhem in the mixing pot.
Starring Eiza González, Yaya Abdul-Mateen II and Jake Gyllenhaal… my main thought is: what does a Michael Bay movie in 2022 look like?
