I have always like the Sandman but I have never watched a movie with 80% of the dialogue is nothing but screaming/shouting. No way I could have lasted in a movie theatre with that noise.

Just saw it at the theater. 6/10
I liked it but there were bets that weren't accurate/realistic and that kept distracting me. The first 45 minutes or so was confusing, so that brought my rating down too. My wife loved it, so there's that.

Gambling movies are seldom realistic on the gambling side. "Molly's Game" is the only one I can recall which was close:0008
Uncut Gems, the new movie starring Adam Sandler, may have transformed the box-office buffoon into a bona fide actor, but the way sports gambling is portrayed makes the film an excruciating test of endurance. Here are some ridiculous inaccuracies that make this film virtually unwatchable ?
