TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Nonureva Really Surprised!

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Aridas Brikas (Abricos) The one true merit of this film is the unusual feeling it gives to you. It goes deep. Deep, that it is hard to recognize it at first. Soon, it starts growing into an overwhelming feeling, but it shifts back into a comfortable feeling at the very right time and alleviates the intensity. The balance of this and its originality makes the film very memorable, in contrast with some other films in which the feelings become very burdensome and make you suffer.Cinematography was adequate, could notice some pleasing to the eye shots. Nonetheless, there were no memorable cinematography parts. Didn't feel any discomfort because of editing. The text at the beginning looked great. Fight scenes were comfortable to watch (in a way that it is good). I am a big fan of Jason Statham, his acting and accent, so I enjoyed his show.The main detriment of this film is the ending. I sometimes have a hard time understanding deep movies, but here it felt like the ending was a drive for the whole plot to continue. Sadly, it ended there. It didn't convince me that Nick had found a solution to his life. One minute I was going to give this film a 9/10, but the other this minus changed everything instantly. Another negative aspect of this movie is its lack of little details that relate throughout the movie. I find them very pleasant and it makes the movie look rich. Nevertheless, the movie has some interesting quotes. Lastly, many characters were introduced in the story and all of those people had decisive influence to the plot. The drawback is that there were only a very brief or no insight about the reason of their relationship with Nick. Many unrevealed side stories made the film lack reason.Overall, I assigned the movie a high value mostly because of the uniqueness in the taste, feeling and because of the adequate execution of film making.

s3276169 In sport if you commit an infraction you may get a red card. In my view Wild Card is a cinematic infraction. Its end to end sleaze, with a down trodden Sam Slade wannabe lead character, taking on "da mob" in the ghastly, garish, gambling carnival side show known as Las Vegas. In spite of Jason Statham's presence in the lead role, there's really nothing to like here. The film has a pervading sense of hopelessness and "no-hoperiness" about it, that's just depressing. The characters are either criminals or losers and there is not a lot in between. As such, its hard to really empathize with the key characters as their blatantly stupid, irresponsible actions, have obvious consequences. The action scenes are OK but at the same time predictable and recycled to a degree, that's simply not all that exciting. My advice, don't place a bet on this action pot boiler as its likely to disappoint. Four out of ten from me.

SethHHenry I'm really not sure what people are looking for in a Jason Statham film, but if you are a Statham fan, this should have it. If you go and judge Shakespeare by his fight sequences, or a Statham movie by it's high culture, you will be disappointed in each. This movie has crisp occasionally humorous dialogue, sexy women, intense, really well choreographed fight scenes, some decent characters, and a fairly lightweight plot. There are only a few fight sequences in this 90 minute movie, but they are so good. If you look down the line, almost every Statham movie has the same rating, strengths, and complaints. If you like Statham, watch this. If you want drama, check out some re-runs of Downton Abbey, though I understand the fight sequences are terrible.

schuster_mark For anyone who likes Jason Statham, this is a must see. Nothing really new here, but what Statham does - he does well. As long as the story/plot doesn't suck horribly in the movies he does, he always delivers.It's amazing just how many movies this guy does - and consistently provides a performance that's pleasing. Not in a Richard Burton kind of way, but in a "Jason Statham" kind of way. He's unique in a genre that's "been there and done that". That's saying a lot! Simply put - Statham is fun to watch for a couple hours. Anybody who appreciates his films are not looking for a deeper understanding of life. They want action, revenge - and a great story that includes both! Beyond all the usual elements present in a Statham movie, this movie has a couple nice twists that had a bit of color to the overall story. These twists help make it that much more enjoyable. And what's interesting is that these twists (one being the kooky millionaire kid) would really seem stupid if done with anybody but Statham. The guy just oozes COOL.If you like Jason Statham you'll enjoy this movie. He delivers on all cylinders - and there's a nice back-story to accompany. Well worth the 100 minutes or so of film.
