How sad is this?

Admirable film.

A Masterpiece!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Slow, boring, bad music. Just don't bother with this one.

As a work of "cinema," Wild Card is nothing special. There is unusual depth to Jason Statham's character and Stanley Tucci plays one of the nicest, kindest, and therefore most frightening mobsters ever. But there's no great drama or great emotional impact.As an "action thriller" it is better than most, but the fight scenes don't measure up to "Transporter 1".Fine, mindless entertainment but it lacks the non-stop action of some of Mr. Statham's other films.

"Nick Wild" (Jason Statham) is a bodyguard who lives and works in Las Vegas because he is essentially down on his luck and doesn't have the money to start life anew. At least he doesn't think so. Then one night when a female friend named "Holly" (Dominik García-Lorido) is brutally raped and beaten he decides to help her get revenge--even though he knows it is going cause him big trouble once everything is said and done. Even worse, this particular problem also spills over onto an innocent client by the name of "Cyrus Kinnick" (Michael Angarano) who has hired Nick in order to avoid trouble. Now, rather than reveal any more I will just say that I happened to like this film because it had a decent plot, nice action and a couple of likable characters who happen to be mired in a dismal situation and are struggling with their own insecurities and inner demons. At least, that is how it seemed to me. In any case, I thought this was an enjoyable film and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.

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.
