Comments: This is a brilliantly executed film but I'm repulsed by the culture it moves in so I was not enjoying myself while watching it except for constantly thinking "Holy crap. How did they reach this fever pitch and maintain it for an entire film"?
Summary: Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler) is a once successful New York gems dealer whose gambling addiction has left his family and career in shambles, and him hundreds of thousands in debt. Always looking for the next big bet, Howard thinks he finally hit it big when he discovers a rare uncut rock of Ethiopian gems, with a very interested high-profile buyer. But the closer Howard gets to finally winning big, the more he is forced to realize he can't keep running from the consequences of his actions. |
