Not every Jason Statham project works by raking in the dough. As evidence, we present the 2015 Wild Card which enjoys limited access in theaters with the release of videos on demand. Despite the impressive cast, Wild Card proves to be a significant and business-critical failure, but on the fly it is making huge profits. The film is currently # 3 on Netflix’s top 10 movies, which is especially impressive considering the competition. In front of him at # 2 is the new comic strip of Stream Man from Toronto, and behind him at # 4 is Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.
The difference between Nick Wild (Jason Statham) and other gamblers is that most gamblers can’t afford to pay the usual amount as a guard (or “chaperone” as Wild prefers to call it). For the right price, Wild will do everything to protect you as you throw your money on the table to allow you to hit it to impress your date. But the fact that he wants to make money doesn’t mean he’s worthless, and some Las Vegas protesters have learned that hard way after they raped Nick’s friend Holly (Dominik Garcia).
Of course, crossing the crowd is hardly a big deal and Jason Statham’s attitude is realized by himself after beating Danny DeMarco (Milo Ventimiglia) and his cronies. Although Holly is merciful so as not to accuse DeMarco of abusing her – something little would accuse her of – and instead spend $ 50,000 on him, the robber is not fully grateful for the justice done to him. not. Once Nick finds himself with a coin and gets lost in the subject of his temptation, that makes him vulnerable to DeMarco, which leads him to a horrible encounter with the leader of the Vegas gang, Baby (Stanley Tucci).
Despite a $ 30 million production budget, Wild Card still fails to break even – earning $ 6.7 million. Prior to his resurgence on Netflix, all other characters were pointing to the Wild Card being the least popular Jason Statham movie. On Rotten Tomatoes, enough reviewers tossed it to get 31% of critics. While often with performances such audiences go at least a bit, in this case it is less than that of the critics’, at 29%.
The wild card is a remake of Burt Reynolds’ 1987 Heat (not to be confused with the 1995 film starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino), and adapted from William Goldman’s 1985 book. Statham has reportedly been developing the project itself for several years and is thought to have Brian De Palma (The Untouchables) attached to the direct at the same time. Alternatively, he was injured being Simon West (Con Air) who sat in the director’s chair for a flick. Statham first talked about the project going to the West when they teamed up on the 2011 engineers and went on to push for the next year when the two made The Expendables 2.
It shouldn’t surprise anyone that reviewers weren’t on Jason Statham’s side with Wild Card. He’s obviously not the type of person who makes movies so he can go back through the Oscars collection. His most popular films – like Spy and Furious 7 (both, surprisingly, came out in the same year as Wild Card) – have always been one of those collections.
He plays the transporters, plays the guards, and will soon play kiwon the beekeeper? That’s right – back in August it was rumored that Jason Statham would star in the Bee Guard. David Ayer of the Suicide Squad will lead the next game and will be involved in a “beekeeping tale.” It has been reported that Statham’s character will be on the verge of revenge, and we understand that he was once a member of a secret group calling itself The Beekeepers.
If, while you are waiting for the buzz (a mistake made without an apology) for the Beekeeper you are interested in Wild Card, it is now floating on Netflix. The film was directed by Simon West and stars Jason Statham, Michael Angarano, Milo Ventimiglia, Dominik Garcia, Anne Heche, Sofia Vergara, Max Casella, Jason Alexander, Hope Davis, and Stanley Tucci.
