Howard Ratner lives for the thrill of the gamble. He isn’t just chasing money. He is chasing the high that comes from risking everything and barely making it out alive. Every second he is on screen, the film moves at his speed—reckless, frantic, and exhausting. He juggles debts, lies, and dangerous deals, convinced his next win will fix everything. His obsession makes Uncut Gems feel like a pressure cooker ready to explode. He can’t stop, and it destroys him.
