(Jason Statham)
The tightly-wound 2015 American thriller Wild Card, directed by Simon West and starring
Jason Statham, follows the story of a tough bodyguard who lands in hot water
with the mob after he goes after one of their own.
Nick Wild (Jason Statham) is a recovering gambling addict
who takes odd jobs in Las Vegas as a "chaperone" (his version of a
bodyguard) to support his addiction. After helping a client impress a woman (Sofía
Vergara), he accepts a proposition from a young man Cyrus Kinnick (Michael
Angarano) to show him around Vegas and provide him with protection while he
gambles.
The film is based on the 1985 novel Heat by William
Goldman, and is a remake of the 1986 adaptation that starred Burt Reynolds.
Wild Card will be
screened on M-Net Channel 101 on April 6, 2018, at 21h00. Rating 16VNL
