Sports Betting Movie Has Dark Comedy

Although California Split inspired the sports betting movie, the comedy of Uncut Gems is much darker than the classic gambling movie. The sports betting film has a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes in the review aggregator.

While it was not the intention of the writers and directors to make the movie a dark comedy, however, it has undoubtedly become that in critics’ eyes. Movie critics have described Uncut Gems as a movie that has taken a book out of Scorsese’s writing and directing style.
