Is this the closest thing to a Michael Bay movie that wasn't actually directed by Michael Bay?

It's got all the trademarks of a dumb-but-fun Bay film: a ridiculous plot, tons of explosions, slow-motion shots of the bad guys.

Its a blatant Michael Bay rip iff only a tad weaker, not as pure, more low rent. Simon West is a talented director just tone down the BM act.
