Adam Sandler's cinematic journey throughout the gritty "Uncut Gems" is an occasionally thrilling, frequently exhausting experience for the viewer. There are moments of greatness sprinkled throughout "Uncut Gems" that try to claw their way out of the film's noisy, messy wreckage. Always the loudmouth, Howard takes a basketball out of a professional athlete's hands and jogs in for a slightly awkward layup.

Instead of becoming an intriguing journey for viewers, "Uncut Gems" stumbles into sensory overload and never manages to escape its self-inflicted trappings.
