The newest Adam Sandler movie, which is also the newest Safdie Brothers movie, makes for a frantic, shocking, nervous, sweaty time at the cinema.
In the film’s 2010 opening sequence, set in Ethiopia, a huge black opal is found in a mine. Cut to two years later, and an unpleasant scene in New York, with Howard being accosted by a couple of thugs who remind him that he’s overdue in his payments to a loan shark named Arno . “I’m good for it,” he says. “I’m about to close a big deal.” You have to wonder how many times he’s said that.
But a wealthy customer in the showroom, Kevin Garnett, the former Boston Celtics forward, playing himself, sees the opal, decides it’s a good luck charm, and says he must have it, even if for only one night, and will trade his championship ring for collateral. Accompanied by a loud, annoying electronic score , this becomes an up-close look at a man in turmoil, a guy who regularly hits rock bottom, then manages to fall even lower. Nothing goes right for Howard, and even though most of his misfortune comes from his own doing, you feel some sympathy for him.
