Uncut Gems (2019)
Directors: Josh and Benny Safdie
6/10
Adam Sandler stars as a frenetic jeweler and gambler Howard Ratner who is being hounded by loan sharks and enforcers. He obtains a large opal spirited out of an Ethiopian mine and hopes to get NBA player Kevin Garnett to pay a big sum for it. The action and tension are almost non-stop and this makes for a one-dimensional and annoying film. Attempts to show Howard's human side with family are all too brief. Sandler, whom I loathe, is surprisingly good as Howard but the non-stop maniacal nature wears thin.
