In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

As jason is the hero , so many of us waiting and expecting for an action from the beggining but its a crime drama based action movie.movie is very slow in the start , lot of conversations till 35 mints.overall it is one time watch movie and jason fans will not disappoint with action and fight scenes in the middle and at the end.............

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)

I don't know how "good" this movie is, but I found it interesting because I felt it was different. At first glance, I thought this was going to be one of those hard to follow Las Vegas action movies like "Smokin' Aces" (2006). It turns out the plot of this movie is really quite simple, and the movie is almost more of a character study which is unusual for an action movie of this type. Nick Wild (Jason Statham) is a bodyguard and recovering gambling addict living in Las Vegas, Nevada. His dream is to one day be wealthy enough to leave Las Vegas and sail the Mediterranean. The movie focuses on two main stories. One: Nick helps to avenge a rape victim, and two: he is hired as a bodyguard by a scrappy self made millionaire during his stay in Vegas. The movie is about Nick struggling to achieve his dream, while fighting the demons of his addiction. It also has some elements of the Aesop fable "The Mouse and the Lion." Jason Statham keeps a heavy English accent for this character, although there is no explanation as to how the character ended up from Britain to Las Vegas. What I found odd was that the most prominent songs in the soundtrack are Christmas songs. Although there are several other songs, "Blue Christmas" by Dean Martin and "White Christmas" by The Drifters are played loudly and in entirety. They are just not the types of songs one would expect to be in the background of the scenes in this movie. I think the reason the film has received negative reviews is because one goes into this movie looking for a Vegas action movie, and they get a character study which are movies that many people find boring—particularly someone looking for a movie like "21" (2008). I thought it was good storytelling.

I thought this movie was just very odd overall. Very weak motives and resolutions. The first thing I thought was..did someone make a bet to try and pass off a 12 year old's script as an actual movie? Acting was average, directing was okay, but the script was extremely weak.I'd give this one a pass unless you're a die hard Jason Statham fan. It just reminded me of something cheesy I might had written in grade school or something. Don't waste your time.
