"Rough Diamond" 7 points Life is ups and downs, it's really exciting.

—————Spoiler dividing line————

The Safdie brothers use extreme spatial scheduling, untimely plot pushes, and sharp character relationships. To interpret such a story of human nature, a gambling businessman, a marriage on the verge of collapse, several creditors who are chasing after him, a beautiful woman who is standard in film noir, and an NBA star.

At the beginning of the movie, it was not very easy for people to enter, and it always felt that the plot was too sharp. In the scene where Garnett came to return the gem, the door lock was deliberately destroyed. See the director's deliberate arrangement.

And the director of the ending also set up a smoke bomb. In traditional noir films, femme fatale is already a standard, making people think that the mistress will run away with the rich man with the winning money, and let the audience relax Adam Sandler. On one side of the contradiction, the audience always thought that Adam Sandler would reconcile with the creditor. The sudden shot was like a solid punch in the face of the audience, and it also gave people sudden emotional ups and downs, which was very pleasant.

    Sandler gave his best acting since his love affair. To be honest, the good times have been forgotten, but Rough Diamond has clearly moved beyond the sensory experience of its predecessor, exploring its newness in the crime-movie genre. The audience's point of view is forced on the disgusting protagonist, forced into the New York jewelry store, the Jewish community and black popular culture, watching him make big bets on his life step by step, and make bad decisions again and again and fall into the abyss.
