Adam Sandler has not done a good film in quite some time now. He has only been busy with his mediocre films for Netflix, out of which ‘Murder Mystery‘ has managed to be a success, thanks to him being paired opposite Jennifer Aniston. However, with the film ‘Uncut Gems‘, directed by Josh and Benny Safdie, things seem to have changed for the veteran actor and comedian. Sandler has always been a good performer if the material is strong, and this time too, he does not disappoint.
The other interesting aspect of ‘Uncut Gems’ is the fact that we get to see NBA player Kevin Garnett and musician The Weekend, playing themselves in the film. You must be eager to know where you can stream ‘Uncut Gems’, and we are here to tell you just that. But before we do so, let us walk you through what the film is actually about.
What is Uncut Gems About?
The central character of ‘Uncut Gems’ is a jeweler called Howard Ratner (Sandler) who comes across an uncut opal which he presumes to be worth around a million dollars. Howard is a gambler who is always busy squandering away his money, and he even owes a large amount to his brother-in-law Arno, who is a loan shark. Basketball player Kevin Garnett shows an interest in the opal but does not buy it immediately. Instead, Howard starts betting on Kevin’s games, thinking it would make him rich. Besides the huge debt that is hanging over his head, Howard is also torn in his personal life where he is having an affair with his employee Julia while his marriage has hit the absolute rock-bottom.
