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.
With Wild Card, Statham may finally have overplayed his hand.
Wild Card performed disastrously in the US but is offbeat and entertaining enough to stand a fair chance of achieving cult status in future years.
Disappointingly, William Goldman’s second big-screen pass at his novel Heat is neither a caper nor an action film.
This faithful retread of the Burt Reynolds vehicle Heat, about a compulsive gambler, plays its hand with enjoyable off-kilter bravado.
