The film comes roaring straight out of the gate, and never slows down. It was frenetic and left me breathless. It was simultaneously exhilarating and very uncomfortable. There were so many times where I wanted to say, out loud, JFC calm down.
During my last trip to NYC, I walked around the Diamond District a few times, and I found it really interesting. That experience helped me enjoy the movie.
The story line followed Howard Ratner, who is a sort of a has-been loser and a bit of a dirt bag. He's a gambler, cheater, and is obsessed by this uncut opal. For some reason, he thinks it's a good idea to hand over this coveted gem to Kevin Garnett. Garnett plays himself, and that was interesting.
It was definitely worth a watch, but prepare for completely exhaustion after viewing.
