There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This flick can't figure out where it wants to go. So it goes nowhere really

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)

Before going further, do yourself a favour and don't watch the trailer, they give away too much! Instead watch without even reading the summary and the surprises might make the movie more enjoyable.When checking out a Jason Statham movie the first thing I want to know is, does it show off his great fighting skills? And the answer is yes - but, there's a long wait and it's very scarce.This is a different Statham here, he does put on a different character, so some points for his acting. But the story just seems to lose focus after a reasonably good start and therefore lacks the intensity to keep the interest. They have some good elements but then throw it away and you end up wondering what's the movie all about. It seemed like a failed attempt at a drama or thriller.The (very) few action scenes are what saved it from being less than five stars. Homefront and The Equalizer are examples of films that didn't have that much action, but were good thrillers that kept me entertained in-between. This one took a bit of effort to finish. But if you're a JS fan like me, give it a try, who knows, you might end liking it a bit more than me, just don't expect much!

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.
