Adam Sandler plays an impulsive jewelry dealer in Josh and Benny Safdie's thrilling, unnerving tour of Manhattan's diamond district.
“Uncut Gems” begins with a grim jolt of 21st century realism somewhere in the Welo opal mines of Ethiopia, where a worker has been seriously injured in an accident. But within moments the action has taken on a dark, primordial undertow, a rumble of something as ancient as fable or myth. After pausing to take in the grisly scene, the camera darts after two men who, amid the bloody chaos, have snuck back into the mine, like bandits raiding a cave of wonders.
Directed with relentless tension and diamond-hard intelligence by Josh and Benny Safdie , “Uncut Gems” is a thriller and a character study, a tragedy and a blast. It’s a throwback to the sordid ’70s crime pictures once popularized by filmmakers including Martin Scorsese but also a snapshot of a highly specific time and place — one informed by stories the Safdies heard from their father, who worked in the diamond district himself.
is playing for the Boston Celtics and the Weeknd is in New York on his first U.S. tour, to name two real-life celebrities whose paths will intersect with Howard’s in wittily unpredictable fashion.But the celebrity you may be most surprised to encounter in this grotty world of black-market jewelry and high-stakes sports betting is Adam Sandler himself. His presence here is its own kind of gamble, and it pays off beautifully.
Howard is thus an avatar of greed, lust, desperation and bravado, a human pinball careening from one bad decision to the next. He’s as flashy and tacky as his wares, with his leather jacket and bad goatee. He’s a faithless husband, a lousy father and a hopeless addict, flushing money away on sports bets and trying to outwit the nasty loan sharks on his tail.
