Leave your thoughts about Wild Card.
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiA pulpy, enjoyable caper filled with unexpected plot twists and memorable characters, even when they only get a few lines of dialogue. |
| The Film StageDan MeccaThis is a snappily-edited film that finds a surprisingly solid middle-ground between fast action and gangster melodrama. |
| Consequence of SoundBlake GoblePart '70s crime caper, part character comedy, part hit-punch actioner, Wild Card plays the hands it's dealt with an amusing and acceptable lack of ambition. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelWild Card has a handful of spectacular fights (choreographed by Cory Yuen), sprinkled throughout long stretches of compulsive gambling and macho brooding. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfOne confused picture, endeavoring to find pockets of dramatic depth as it organizes a big screen bloodbath. |
| RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonI really enjoyed listening to Statham talk. His fight scenes have their predictable, violent payoffs, but his rambling monologues are unexpectedly, gloriously entertaining. This film’s tagline should be “Come for the stabbing, stay for the gabbing!” |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Geoff PevereThere’s a modern noir story struggling to get out of Wild Card, just as there was in "Heat," and you can feel it every time Statham – a fine actor even when he’s not rearranging people’s skeletal structure – has to sit down, stare into yet another tumbler of vodka rocks and contemplate the miserable life sentence of his habit. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBruce IngramIt’s no secret that Jason Statham demonstrates remarkable flair when it comes to bone-crunching action-movie mayhem, but he deserves special props for making some of the more outrageous flights of macho fantasy in Wild Card seem credible. |
| The A.V. ClubJosh ModellA largely forgettable lark, notable more for its slight diversions from action-movie norms than anything else. |
| The Sun (UK)Grant RollingsIt was a risk asking Statham to do more than just bash baddies... it kind of pays off. |
