Too fast paced for its own good. Had this film been 'calmer' and Sandler's performance not so over the top, this could have worked a whole lot better.
Wasn't annoying.
Even though there was no ebb and flow to Sandler's character, I was very attentive to the realistic conflicts and conditions. The cast of first timers were a visual grabber from the mobsters, the pawn shop guys, guys trying to collect on their debts, to the 'copter pilot, etc. They very much had the feel of very good improv.
Except running from the bad guys in the parking lot, I really didn't seem to think that Sandler's character was in fear. That was just a part of doing business. Hard to think that he had a gambling problem if he won so big the first and second time. Would have liked more figures he was in debt for that would have heightened the peril. And some history of him losing at gambling and how much that was.
There were nuances in the basketball betting and subsequent games that were hard to follow.
Very puzzled by Sandler's character insisting that the opal was worth a million vs. what it went for. The character was very good at what he did and wouldn't have been that wrong. And loaning it to Kevin Garnett (who was also very good) was manufactured but needed to launch the peril.
I'd be curious how Sandler approached this. Being that there wasn't any real dimension to the guy, I would assume that he was just imitating a very annoying person he knew but it worked out far better than expected.
Not sure if it was the intent, but I came away from it with a strong impression that it was portraying the most agitating of Jewish cliches and some black cliches with no counters to them. Odd as I know the directors/brothers are also Jewish. It really didn't make the family life and those people appealing or likeable. (Don't you Trumpers start feeling a kinship with my observation.)
Had seen the directors' previous film Good Times. The actual shooting looked very rough (like this one) and was very self-indulgent but worked when it shouldn't have. Has a very 70s/80s feel to it. And the soundtrack was Tangerine Dream leftovers? But both films very much a wealth of opportunities for actors.
I'd like to see more from them.
Top notch performance by Adam Sandler. Surprising and excellent movie score. Great camera work. If you appreciate well constructed films, you will love this movie.
