Jake Gyllenhaal has been making waves on Netflix with his latest blockbuster, Ambulance. The Hollywood heavyweight stars as Danny Sharp, a charming career criminal who gets roped into a $32 million bank heist by his brother, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. This action-packed heist film is directed by Michael Bay, known for his work on the Transformers franchise.
Aside from Gyllenhaal and Abdul-Mateen II, the star-studded cast also includes Eiza González as a paramedic and police officer, Jackson White. Despite mixed reviews upon its release, fans have been praising Gyllenhaal's acting in Ambulance, calling it a "masterclass." One fan wrote, "Gyllenhaal and Abdul-Mateen II make a great combo!" while another declared, "Jake Gyllenhaal in Ambulance is an acting masterclass!"
But the film almost didn't even make it to production. According to Bay, it was stuck in development hell since 2015 and he initially passed on directing it. However, the pandemic slowed down Hollywood and gave producers the opportunity to make the film, with Bay eventually taking on the smaller project.
In an interview, Bay revealed that the film features mostly real stunts and minimal CGI. He even admitted that there were a couple of CGI shots that he was not happy with. But despite the challenges, the film finally came together and is now available to stream on Netflix.
Gyllenhaal also shared his experience working on the film, praising Bay's unique directing style. He explained, "Michael Bay has a real penchant for rolling the camera and just throwing lines at you, and then you throwing them back." He also revealed that the process of filming was "open" and "wacky," with Bay encouraging improvisation and collaboration between actors.
Aside from the behind-the-scenes drama, the film also faced casting changes, with Dylan O'Brien originally set to play Danny's brother. However, scheduling conflicts led him to drop out and Yahya took over the role. The two actors previously worked together in Taylor Swift's short film All Too Well, where O'Brien played the male lead.
Overall, Ambulance has been gaining popularity on Netflix and has been receiving positive reviews from viewers. It just goes to show that even though it faced numerous challenges, the film was able to come together and deliver an exciting and entertaining experience for audiences. So, if you're looking for a thrilling watch, be sure to check out Ambulance on Netflix now.
