Uncut Gems 2019

"Come on! KG. This is no different than that. This is me. All right? I'm not a fuckin' athlete, this is my fuckin' way. This is how I win. All right?"

Those final 30 minutes are just a non-stop thrill ride. It makes you sweat, it makes you cheer for a guy you hated throughout the movie for his actions. It all comes to a happy end. You are relieved. He's done it. The rain has finally stopped. BANG and you are sitting there with your mouth open like what the hell happened? What an ending. Didn't see it coming this way at all.

Anyway Adam Sandler gives us his Magnum Opus here. He is fantastic. You start to wonder what people would think of him if he did more serious movies throughout his career. Alongside Sandler you have Kevin Garnett doing his job. The Weeknd showing up. An amazing soundtrack. A gritty 70's movie feel. Tension. And a fast paced movie. It didn't feel like 130 minutes at all.

If you haven't seen Uncut Gems yet because of what you feel about Adam Sandler maybe, give it a shot. You know it is worth it when there is a scene were he is sexting Julia Fox whilst being in a closet. Epic stuff.
