Netflix’s Uncut Gems supercut gives us our daily helping of F-bombs

F**k. It's a wonderfully versatile word, but when it comes to the world of cinema, you only get one before you're saddled with an R-rating, but some films just don't give a shit. UNCUT GEMS, the crime-thriller from Josh and Benny Safdie, is certainly one of those films, and Netflix has chopped together a supercut which showcases every single F-bomb in the film – all 560 of them.


UNCUT GEMS follows Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler), a "charismatic New York City jeweler always on the lookout for the next big score. When he makes a series of high-stakes bets that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime, Howard must perform a precarious high-wire act, balancing business, family, and encroaching adversaries on all sides, in his relentless pursuit of the ultimate win." Sandler's performance in the film received significant critical acclaim, with the actor finding himself nominated for more than a few awards; in fact, many called for Sandler to receive an Oscar for the role, and were disappointed when he was snubbed come awards season.

Our own Chris Bumbray caught UNCUT GEMS when it screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, and called the film a "wild ride that grabs you right from the start and doesn’t let go until the end credits, jacked up by so much frantic energy you’d swear you’re watching the cinematic version of cocaine" in his review. UNCUT GEMS is now streaming on Netflix.
