Whether he’s emerging from the sea like a Bond Girl or tutoring Zack Efron’s neophyte lifeguard, The Rock is watching that Bay like nobody’s business, and it’s great to see.
Sure, other parts of the trailer are a bit weird – Efron’s character jumps off a moving motorcycle to rescue someone, in a move which seems like it would endanger more people than he could save – but no film can be perfect. Life’s a beach that way.
Baywatch will be released in May 2017
