It’s always fun to see Jason Statham kick ass. He does a lot of that in the new action drama Wild Card, but you’ll get to see him do more than that. You’ll also get to see him act opposite a fantastic ensemble cast in a film with a sharp and pulpy screenplay from Oscar-winning writer William Goldman (All the President’s Men, The Princess Bride.)
In this exclusive clip, Jason Statham meets with Millicent (Davenia McFadden, Smokin’ Aces) to find out more about the men who savagely assaulted his ex-girlfriend Holly (Dominik Garcia-Lorido, “Magic City”). It turns out that these are some bad dudes. Bad dudes indeed. But not so bad that time can’t be made to appreciate the finer things in life, like pickles. Enjoy!
From the Press Release:
