Uncut Gems 4K 2019

In the center of the story is an elderly Jewish jewelry merchant with a clear craving for problems with various criminals. Considering his occupation and philosophy of life, the question arises: how did he even make it to such years.

Head over heels in problems and debts, he seemingly finally pulls out the winning ticket. He manages to buy an uncut large stone from the 'African Jews'. He negotiates a sale with the auction house. So, before the sale is a few days, he expects to rip off more than a million. And then he makes an absolutely normal and logical decision, which would be made by any sane person in his place. Yes, yes, as you probably already guessed, he gives the NBA star, whom he sees for the first time in his life, to revile the stone for several days, takes his champion ring as a pledge, immediately puts it in a pawnshop and puts all the money. Here is the plot. Further, the hero fights the whole film with a series of troubles that befell him. The whole action is flavored by guest celebrities like Kevin Garnett and Weekend.

In general, not the worst example of the genre.

Adam Sendler, as much as we love him, in my opinion, is not a dramatic actor, but in this case his type ideally suited the role, so he is rather a plus in this picture.

I would especially like to note the soundtrack, which almost made me stop watching after just a few minutes. The composer apparently wanted to convey to the viewer a state of confusion and constant oppression of circumstances, but he clearly overdid it, greatly complicating the viewing.
