Critics Consensus

Hardcore Jason Statham fans may enjoy parts of Wild Card, but all other action aficionados need not apply.

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

[It's] offbeat and entertaining enough to stand a fair chance of achieving cult status in future years.

Bar. Big breasts. Bodyguard. Jason Statham! Cockney, mate. Vegas, innit?

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

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.

One Room With A View

It all feels like a semi-engaging flashback episode of a show about a Las Vegas "bodyguard" ...

Rated: 2/5

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.

It's always fun to watch Statham fight, but the underpinnings of this flick are weak...even with Vegas as the backdrop.

I've like Jason Statham ever since I saw The Transporter years ago. He always has the coolest fight scenes. Check it out.
