Coming off their triumphant “Good Time,” the Safdie Brothers seemed keen in casting Adam Sandler for the lead role in “Uncut Gems,” a passion project that came to fruition thanks to the success of their Cannes hit “Good Time.” Sandler is the lead star in this Martin Scorsese-produced film, which takes place in the corrupt world of New York City’s diamond district. Suffice to say, we’re fascinated to see what the Safdies will do with a higher budget given that all of their other movies were made for next to nothing. As for Sandler, despite his latest Netflix bonanza “Murder Mystery” being a real stinker, his acting in last year’s “The Meyerowitz Stories” was impressive and turned out to be his best performance since his touching turn in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Punch-Drunk Love.” . The film stars Adam Sandler, Lakeith Stanfield, Idina Menzel, Judd Hirsch, Eric Bogosian, and Pom Klementieff.
