Reception

Wild Card has received mixed reviews.

Derek Elley, writing for Variety, states that although there is "nothing new" about the premise or plot, the film has "well-written and well-played characters whose ensemble chemistry pays off in the final reels."[1] Andrew Robertson, from "Eye For Film," called the film "exciting" with an "almost Seventies feel."[3]
