Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Heaven knows what Brian De Palma (originally slated to direct) would have made of it, but nuts-and-bolts man Simon West, with whom Statham remade The Mechanic, keeps things simple. Rated: 3/5 Mar 22, 2015 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) [It's] offbeat and entertaining enough to stand a fair chance of achieving cult status in future years. Rated: 3/5 Mar 19, 2015 Full Review Kate Muir Times (UK) Bar. Big breasts. Bodyguard. Jason Statham! Cockney, mate. Vegas, innit? Rated: 2/5 Mar 19, 2015 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Could have been an interesting look at the downside of Las Vegas life. Or it could have been a kick-butt action movie. As it is, it is neither. Rated: 2/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens As Nick Wild, Jason Statham is perfection. Quiet, brooding, introspective but with a wild streak, no one can build tension with silence, stillness and just a stare like Statham. Dec 8, 2019 Full Review Stephen O'Nion One Room With A View It all feels like a semi-engaging flashback episode of a show about a Las Vegas "bodyguard" ...

Korra N One of the very few Jason Statham films that's not very entertaining, Wild Card is a fairly bland and by-the-numbers crime thriller that's only worth a watch due to some decent acting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Jerod S It's always fun to watch Statham fight, but the underpinnings of this flick are weak...even with Vegas as the backdrop. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Terry S Stratham comes through again. He never fails to deliver the goods ! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Jelisije J An odd entertaining , but memorable action movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review KB B I've like Jason Statham ever since I saw The Transporter years ago. He always has the coolest fight scenes. Check it out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Breno G Special Effects: 0,5/Sound Effects: 0,5/Acting: 0,5/Story: 0,5 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
