What did I just watch!? Don't watch.
15 February 2020
This movie is so convaluted. Is this a horror, a comedy, a drama or a revenge mystery? This movie is so laughably terrible! The acting is terribly bad, the dialogue is extremely bad and at times this movie wanted to flex its 'woke' muscles by inserting social commentary as well.

Their is no clear motivation of who is behind the evil, because it bounces back and fourth between what 'he wants' 'she wants' or what the owner of F. I. wants. At times it felt like it wanted to be an action movie and it carried different tones throughout the movie (which I think dragged and soul have been way shorter) and even during the second act it felt it wanted to be like 'Indiana Jones' and go on a mission to :destroy'the Island' The LACK of exposition really infuriates the audience watching because it makes it hard to follow.

Terrible movie. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because of its amazing location shots and georgeous setting. They wasted Micheal Pena and Rookers character. Michael Penas character had a strange accent that disrupted the energy and took you out of the flow of the film.

Do yourself a favor and make sure to make your fantasy be to avoid this movie at all costs.

Tony Montana/Pacino-"Esque" Performnace

What a beautiful performance!

Kind of a "adrenalinic" Tony Monana 'Coked up performance' that highlights the intensity and thrill of gambling addiction. A tad similar to that of 80' Drug Kingpin Tony Montana's scene in the end of Scarface.

Don't listen to the negative reviews! (Spoiler-Free)

Uncut gems, directed by the Safdie Brothers, is a Jam-Packed anxiety-inducing thriller, that delivers a jolt of adrenaline, right to the edge of your seat.

The ominous-sounding trailer along with a dazzling smile Sandler lends KG, immediately alludes to the gem this movie will be from the get-go.

Here...

We...

Go...

Expect an assertive, brash and modest amount of tension thrust upon you, as Howard's life (Sandler) unfolds right in front of you.

It's a never-ending teeth-clenching experience that you're on a ride for.

If you're particularly fond of these fast-paced thrillers and your cake is a film with ever-increasing pacing, beat to beat tension (from the beginning to the end) then Uncut Gems is the thriller for you.
