Saying that the new Adam Sandler movie
Uncut Gems begins with a sequence taking place inside buttocks of Sandler's protagonist, Howard Ratner, might make you think this project is some kind of stealth
Grown Ups sequel. But
Uncut Gems isn't that at all, it's the newest project from Ben and Josh Safdie, the directorial duo responsible for
Good Time. These two know how to deliver good movies and that means they have a great reason for starting
Uncut Gems within someone's colon. Such an opening follows up a prologue sequence set in Ethiopia, where two miners discover a rare black opal gem. The prologue ends with the camera zooming into the gem, revealing all the dazzling colors within.
