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 The 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" ...

Guilherme M The movie is confusing, from action to cutting a mans ball and gambling. Great action scenes performed by Jason Statham, but i can't stand the weak and confusing story. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Audience Member I’ll be the first person to clap for a good Jason Statham movie, but this one sucks. Maybe about 5 minutes of action scenes altogether buried among a vague and sort of pointless plot. A lot of the movie doesn’t make sense, the characters and Statham’s (the protagonist’s) relationship with them seems odd and sort of irrelevant. The villains are bumbling fools so there’s no sort of suspense that might appear as when the bad guys actually present a threat. I could go on, but I’ve already wasted enough time on this one. The 29% popcorn score is generous in this case, I’d give it an 8% myself. Really awful Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review David Jonathan B Jason Statham plays,... yes, you guessed it, Jason Statham, as he does in every film I've had the misfortune to see. What do people see in this guy? His dreadful, one dimensional acting, makes Steven Seagull look Oscar-worthy. Money for old, frayed rope. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review John W More arthouse style at the beginning and not like most Statham films, but I liked that atmosphere. Definitely unique and there is good action later on as well.
