adonis98-743-186503 When a Las Vegas bodyguard with lethal skills and a gambling problem gets in trouble with the mob, he has one last play...and it's all or nothing. Wild Card might not be as bad as many might think but it's one of Statham's most forgettable films and even tho the Cast looks promising and does deliver in certain parts and the limited action is great the film feels conflicted threw a mediocre script that goes from fight scenes, to humor to poker and back again. Plus some actors like Tucci and Vergara get limited screen time which is bad because good talent gets wasted and overall the movie drags at times as well which makes it hard to sit threw the whole damn thing. Overall Wild Card has some great limited fight sequences, a great cast and Statham who is great as he is always but the end result is a forgettable Simon West Action Flick that didn't live up to expectations plus the man made Con-Air and The Expendables 2 so there's no excuse for this movie to be mediocre. (6/10)

fluffset This movie only got 6 out of 30 million budget, now I'm gonna tell you how this movie fail. I watch this movie know nothing about Goldman's novel, because I'm Asian. Never heard of it at all. I watch this film because I love Jason Statham's action movie. Who don't like him, I mean every action movie lover might like him, maybe a bit. But this movie, they try to give him some dramatic character, just like his weird character in "The Revolver" (2005) by Guy Ritchie. Its not good, this is not him. Maybe he tries to do some new character but just don't, he cant, fighting is his forte and he is really good at it. All the stuff about his gambling addict and annoying kid name Cyrus looks like out of place in this movie, unnecessary additional. They should focus on his case with DeMarco. Maybe everything will turned out really well if they got a good script, but looks like Statham's development for 5 years (he said) come out fail. Its like when you ask DiCaprio to do some action- martial-art movie. We love what you always do, don't listen to any of the critics, they just want you to become like Meryl Streep. Everybody have their own way. Stick at what you good at. Wanna take risk? Only if you know you can.

MugseyGrant I have seen many of Jasons films and do like his work but sadly Wild Card wasn't doing it for me. It was predictable more than a Walt Disney film. Without any doubt, one of his worst if you like Jason watch it but don't go out your way you ain't missing much. A weird and little stupid with the storyline their are some funny moments. A little bit of fighting and some classic jokes. But the story was slow and hard to get into. I also cannot understand the use of the soundtrack it didn't fit the film. On a bonus, the fight scenes was some the best I've seen the only reason it managed to get a 6. Would I watch this film again no I rather watch My Little Pony or Americas Next Top Model at least that had more humor. Stay away from this film if you want to lose time of your life your nothing going to get back. Finally Jason being on a boat in a happy sunny day wearing a white top that has no connection or reason behind it within the film. Then we are told it's set in Christmas where the Christmas trees. Bloody awful Nick Wild is not saint nick and neither is this film.

jtindahouse 'Wild Card' is a fun ride. It's about as disjointed and unfocused as you'll ever see a modern film, but it's fun nonetheless. Jason Statham carries the movie. We follow him from start to finish and it's simply a pleasure. I don't know what it is about the guy, he's just a very likable actor to watch. He's an action star through and through (you'll never see him being nominated for an Academy Award, at least not for acting) and he just does what he does very well. Is he alone enough to make a film watchable? I'd say so, yes.The action scenes are well directed, for the most part, and the story, while a bit all over the place, is never dull. The question that keeps coming to mind is what is the point? Generally movies like this have a central plot-point that the whole thing revolves around, but in this there are little plot pieces all over the place. Perhaps this was just an attempt to show Statham's character in many different lights. Afterall, I'd watch another movie about this guy. If you're willing to not over-analyse, I think you'll enjoy the film.
