Most all of us know Adam Sandler for his romantic comedy and very funny movies, however he steps outside his comfort zone with this work in the very dark drama "Uncut Gems. It's the story of Howard Ratner a New York City jeweler who lives life on the edge walking on the very cracked side of society. His passion in life is making money anyway he can, no matter if it's legal or not as long as the cash flows his way.
However many of his sports bets and deals with shady characters have him drowning in a pool of debt and in the red as he lives for the next score to payoff the big boys of the shady slick underworld. On the side he enjoys sex and pleasure from his sexy mistress as his home life with his kids and wife Dinah(Idina Menzel) are on rocky grounds and about to be buried under. Overall very dark intense film showing that when living in discomfort and doubt one will go to desperate measures and means to survive. Still pretty good direct anti hero performance from Adam Sandler.

Looking for a break from people arguing over each other and the general chaos of the holidays? This ain't it. It's enough to turn any sober person into an alcoholic or a Xanax pill popper.
Adam Sandler's performance and portrayal of a crazed gambling addict was spot on and might get him an Oscar nod but Jesus, I couldn't stand his character or find any redeeming qualities at all. The only good decision made in this movie was Indina Menzel's character laughing in Sandler's face when he asked for her to take him back.
I get that all the artsy fartsy people love to watch chaos and people's lives fall down before them but you could honestly save the twenty bucks and just watch CNN or Fox News.
Movies are supposed to entertain us and storytelling is supposed to teach us something, the only thing this move taught us is how to waste 135 minutes of our lives.
Do yourself a favor and skip it.

Absolutely immaculate film, had me on the edge of my seat the entire length of the movie. Definitely Adam Sandler's best work he is so convincing in this role. Definitely worth seeing multiple times! Will be seeing it again before the week ends.
