The Safdie brothers really are geniuses, the movie is cult, it's crazy. The psychedelic music at the beginning and the Rap-like lines are enough to see the tone of the film.
A blurred New York City has been created in the rough diamonds, and there is an atmosphere of nothingness under the feasting. The film captures the blurry interior of the rough diamond, as chaotic as human desires. I really like the atmosphere created by the film, which is very different from the color scheme on the poster (the black and white main color of the poster gives people a mature and stable feeling). Howard is a diamond dealer, and his Jewish genes gave him a strong business acumen, but as the saying goes, cleverness is not used in the right place. Borrow money everywhere, gamble everywhere.
I personally think that Adam Sandler has contributed the best acting skills of his career, and I think the film stylist and costume director have also contributed a lot in this film. With Adam's face, the image of greasy, cunning, and chicken thief is portrayed at a glance.
However, I feel that the characters in the movie are not very three-dimensional. For example, Howard's character is too single, and so is Kevin Garnett. Kevin's pursuit of this diamond is more than everyone else, and his sideline should add more material.
However, I love the design of the ending, which is very unconventional. The essence of comedy is tragedy. When I see it at the end, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. That kind of despair can only be understood by people who have seen the movie.
It seems that the risk of gambling is always there, as long as you are not careful, you will die.
