Overlooked by the Academy for the best performance of his career, Adam Sandler propels the Safdie brothers' crime thriller 'Uncut Gems.'
It should be common knowledge by now, but just in case: Adam Sandler has given great dramatic performances before . But he has never been greater, or sweatier, than he is as a master of high-wire hustle-and-bustle inthe latest sustained anxiety attack of a thriller from New York brothers Josh and Benny Safdie.
Sandler’s presence here is its own kind of gamble, and it pays off beautifully. The Safdies have a long-standing affinity for characters who test the audience’s patience, who confront the world with their ambitions and nerve endings exposed. Howard might be a distant Jewish cousin of Robert Pattinson’s reckless crook from “Good Time”; he is both a clearly recognizable figure and, in Sandler’s hands, a twitchy, nervy departure.
