Synopsis
A charismatic New York City jeweler always on the lookout for the next big score makes a series of high-stakes bets that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. Howard must perform a precarious high-wire act, balancing business, family, and encroaching adversaries on all sides in his relentless pursuit of the ultimate win.

Critics called the Safdies' film relentlessly tense and exhausting in a way they meant as praise. Adam Sandler's performance as a gambling-addicted jeweler was widely seen as a dramatic high point. The frantic pacing and bleak downward spiral divided audiences far more than reviewers.
