Gambling is bad for you, kids. But Adam Sandler is very good in this movie. VERY good. He is almost unrecognizable as the scummy jewelry salesman whose life is in complete shambles and a complete sham. I was hooked from the get-go. Not happy but a must see. Huge Adam Sandler fan but couldnt care less he died in the movie lol. Hated the character. So if I understood correctly in Good Time in the scene with the four characters the safdie brothers allowed them to talk simultaneously rather than stopping and cutting to one person at a time. Luckily after a 3 minute trailer I don't have to see the movie.

In 2012, gambling addict Howard Ratner runs a jewelry store in New York's Diamond District. He struggles to pay off gambling debts, including the 100, 000 he owes to his loan shark brother-in-law Arno. His domestic life is split between his estranged wife Dinah, who has agreed to divorce him after Passover, and his mistress Julia, who works at his store. Basketball player Kevin Garnett visits the shop. Howard has ordered the Ethiopian opal and plans to auction it for an estimated price of 1, 000, 000. He shows the opal to Garnett, who becomes obsessed with it, insisting on holding onto it for good luck at his game that night. Howard reluctantly agrees, accepting Garnett's NBA championship ring as collateral. Howard pawns the ring and places a bet on Garnett playing extraordinarily well in that nights game. Howard wins the lucrative bet, but is ambushed at his daughter's school play by Arno and his bodyguards, Phil and Nico. Arno reveals that he placed a stop on Howards bet, as it was made with money owed to him. Phil and Nico strip Howard naked and lock him in the trunk of his car, forcing him to call Dinah for help. Howard calls his employee Demany, who is at a party hosted by the Weeknd. Demany reveals that Garnett still has the opal. When he finds Julia and the Weeknd together in a nightclub bathroom, Howard demands that she leaves his apartment. After an awkward Passover dinner, Howard asks Dinah to take him back, but she insults him. Garnett returns the opal and offers to purchase it for 175, 000, but Howard refuses, given the substantially larger appraisal. Just before the auction starts, Howard discovers the opal has been appraised for significantly less than his estimate. He convinces his father-in-law, Gooey, to bid on the gem to drive up the price, but the plan backfires when Garnett bows out early and Gooey wins. Arno, Phil, and Nico confront Howard outside the auction house and assault him. At the shop, Julia finds Howard sobbing, and they repair their relationship. Howard is informed that Garnett still wishes to purchase the opal. As soon as Garnett buys it, Howard decides to bet all the money on Garnett's game that night. He has Julia board a helicopter to Mohegan Sun, narrowly escaping Arno, Phil and Nico, who have come to collect. The thugs threaten Howard, but he refuses to call Julia to cancel the bet. The three attempt to pursue her, but Howard locks them in the store mantrap. Howard and the group watch the game on TV, and Howard wins over 1. 2 million. Howard frees the trio from the mantrap and Phil shoots him dead. Arno protests and tries to escape, but Phil kills him too. Julia leaves Mohegan Sun with the winnings, while Phil and Nico loot the store. Cast [ edit] Adam Sandler as Howard Ratner, a Jewish-American Diamond District jeweler who is addicted to gambling.

The movie is great and all but I think we can all agree 1917 is gonna take that cinematography Oscar. William Defoe should've been nominated in a supporting role but hey, I guess the Academy members don't see it that way. Those who disliked this video are the real Toy from the real Childs Play movie. Just watched it right now and we all agree that the ending was definitely not expected ?. Bad boys looked good everything else was weird how did titans get a season 2 tho.

Edit: Thumbnail and title was changed. Great movie with a great ending. This movie was insane, not in terms of action but it's the situations and following the crazy life of the main character. Everyone is great in it and the directors better be planning they re next project soon cause I can't wait. Many Adam Sandler fans did not like this movie. It totally goes against his brand but it is a good movie.
