WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!\u00a0 Slice and dice moves come out of nowhere on multiple occasions and each time is shockingly cool.\u00a0 Editing itself is paced extremely well, giving us time to breathe in between the frenetic battles.\u00a0 And a key $500,000 &#8220;all in\/let it ride&#8221; gambling scene&#8230;.so tense, so taut, my palms were sweating.\u00a0 We are immersed in every moment of this film.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping us on our toes, Goldman structures the story so that we\u2019re well into the second act, salivating in anticipation, before Simon West and company kick into high gear with the first major action sequence. One of Statham\u2019s stalwarts, stunt\/fight choreographer Corey Yuen puts together some dynamic scenes which are showcased and enhanced by Shelly Johnson\u2019s lens.\u00a0 Watching Johnson\u2019s work over the years starting with his first film, \u201cMaid to Order\u201d and moving into films like \u201cThe Last Castle\u201d creating an intimate canvas employing both crane work and claustrophobic, and into high octane action with \u201cCaptain America\u201d and \u201cExpendables 2&#8243;, Johnson delivers some interesting camera angles, using not only a\u00a0 lot of dutching but a lot of mid-shots interspersed with dutched close-ups that fuel the Vegas energy and vibe.\u00a0 Color saturation just lends to the heightened surrealism that is Vegas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wild-card-2.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-MgQQ0YFv\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-10750\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wild-card-2-400x261.png\" alt=\"wild card -
