THE MOVIE:

A charismatic jeweller makes a high-stakes bet that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. In a precarious high-wire act, he must balance business, family and adversaries on all sides in pursuit of the ultimate win. A crazy trip of a movie and a wild ride in which it will take you on as Adam Sandler commands the screen. Sandler puts forth one of his strongest performances proving he is more then just his comedic schtick people like to type cast him as.
