The plot follows Howard Ratner, a jeweler and gambling addict in New York City's diamond district who gets in over his head with loan sharks and must retrieve an expensive gem he purchased in order to pay off his debts.


I watched a lot of movies at the theater this year and this a contender for my fav. It felt like a 2 hour anxiety attack. Looking forward to re watching when it comes to Netflix this month. Sandler does an amazing job. I've been on the Safdie Bros bandwagon since Good Time. I love their style. it's gritty almost guerrilla like but highly stylized. And i enjoy their use of non actors. Their stuff sort of reminds me of Harmony Korine if his movies weren't terrible.
