The story centres on Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler), a sleazy Manhattan jeweller in a dangerous amount of debt to numerous creditors trying to pull off the deal of his life. Making a series of high-wire bets and counter-bets, Howard soon finds himself in way too deep and the juggling act of professional and personal lives becomes increasingly precarious.
This palpitation-inducing movie is a must see for any thriller fans with Adam Sandler’s refreshingly magnetic performance proving he’s still a formidable actor.
“A monumental thriller, which vividly captures its world’s specifics and calibrates its snaky plot for maximum nail-bitability.”
