Adam Sandler is an incredibly funny person, but it is no joke when he ventures into dramatic territory. After `Punch Drunk Love` and `The Meyerowitz Stories` the former SNL funnyman is ready to sink his teeth into a role different than his comic persona.

Safdie Brothers, after giving us a heart-attack with Robert Pattinson starrer `Good Time` look to reinvent Sandler in a way we`ve never seen before. Set in the diamond district of New York City, Sandler plays Howard Ratner, a smug jewelry store owner and dealer to the rich and famous who must find a way to pay his debts when his merchandise is taken from one of his top sellers and girlfriend.
