Check out Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the action-packed trailer for Michael Bay's 'Ambulance' Universal PicturesJake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are on the run in the new trailer for Ambulance, director Michael Bay's take on a 2005 Danish thriller. The two actors play foster brothers; Emmy-winner Abdul-Mateen plays a military veteran who's strapped for cash when his wife needs surgery, and Gyllenhaal offers to help -- with a daring bank heist. Soon, the bullets start flying and the pair manage to escape in the only way possible: in an ambulance -- which happens to contain an EMT working on an injured police officer.Eiza González plays the medic, who's trying to keep the cop alive while the pair flee what seems like the entire Los Angeles Police Department. And because it's a Michael Bay movie, you'd be correct to expect the requisite level of Bay-hem: helicopters, cars, and cameras go flying as the pair try to take the money and run.Ambulance opens in theaters February 18.Copyright © 2021, ABC Audio.

"Trusting a thief can be dangerous": Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot in the full 'Red Notice' trailer NetflixNetflix has released a new trailer for Red Notice, and in this one, we get a better idea of the plot. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson recruits Ryan Reynolds' character, noted as the "second-most wanted art thief in the world," in an effort to nab the best one: Gal Gadot's character, known as The Bishop.However, while she's on the titular list, this trailer notes a twist: Gadot uses some computer wizardry to frame Johnson's FBI agent John Hartley, landing him on Interpol's Red Notice, and they both get locked up. The situation sets up a death-defying prison escape sequence seen in an earlier trailer."If we catch her together, I can clear my name, and I'll make you the number-one art thief in the world again," Hartley promises Ryan's Booth. "Trusting a thief can be dangerous," Bishop warns the FBI agent, a comment by which Booth gets comically offended. The trailer not only shows the two men tangling with assorted bad guys, but the character played by Johnson -- who had a wrestling nickname The Brahma Bull -- is actually fighting a real bull. Red Notice hits Netflix November 12.Copyright © 2021, ABC Audio. All rights reserved. Read more
