Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
cinemajesty Movie Review: "Wild Card" (2015)Actor Jason Statham delivers in a tailored action-character role as Nick Wild as one of Las Vegas common inhabitants, seeking a glorious exit with an hardship-calculated money-amount of so-believed eternal bliss, when Wild blows his chance gets into trouble with the usual suspect gang, alongside glamorous supports from actress Sofía Vergara over Dominik Garcia-Lorido to always upscaling Stanley Tucci under the fast-tracked direction of "Con Air" approved director Simon West, when this 85-Minute movie brings the goods for a quick take of entertainment and leading man in best form to enjoy with no strings attached in two excellent-executed because precisely-chereographed as elegantely captures gun-hand-gun combat scenes with sharp-edged twist of splendid slow-motion shots much to portfolio benifits for capable as talented cinematography Shelley Johnson, elevating this action-drama to be a "Wild Card" in motion pictures indeed. © 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
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)
thomasj-hall As a work of "cinema," Wild Card is nothing special. There is unusual depth to Jason Statham's character and Stanley Tucci plays one of the nicest, kindest, and therefore most frightening mobsters ever. But there's no great drama or great emotional impact.As an "action thriller" it is better than most, but the fight scenes don't measure up to "Transporter 1".Fine, mindless entertainment but it lacks the non-stop action of some of Mr. Statham's other films.
toddg-473-289818 In WILD CARD, Jason Statham plays Nick Wild, a hard drinking bodyguard with a gambling problem who is trying to leave Las Vegas. He gets hired to help a nerdy kid named Cyrus to overcome his fear of living, while being asked to extract revenge on three connected thugs who beat up his ex girlfriend. If this plot description sounds convoluted and hard to follow, it's because it is. There is little to cheer for here, from the one dimensional thugs to the battered ex girlfriend. Even the presence of Sofia Vergara and Jason Alexander at the beginning of the film were useless, and seemed more likely as a scheme to try to sell more tickets and/or give those actors an easy paycheck.The one saving grace in the movie was Stanley Tucci's portrayal as a Steve Wynn type casino owner who clearly has the power to kill any enemy, but remains noticeably calm because he doesn't have to raise his voice to anyone. Other than that, this movie isn't worth watching.
