Uncut Gems is finally on Netflix -- and you have to watch it
Read full article: Uncut Gems is finally on Netflix -- and you have to watch itWhen the trailer for Uncut Gems came out in fall 2019, many people (including this writer) were skeptical of the movie. And then the movie finally hit theaters, and all the skepticism of Sandlers ability to play a serious role was quickly wiped away. He owes a lot of people a lot of money, and we get to watch Ratner make deal after deal, just waiting for it all to implode. Were used to seeing him play bumbling buffoons who barely have their lives together, but after youve watched Uncut Gems, you realize that Ratner isnt that much different from Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore. We can only hope Sandler got a boost of acting confidence with this role in Uncut Gems. Not that any of his latest project are that bad, but do we really need another Grown-Ups movie?
