He looks tortured

Howard Ratner's life is fully fixed on chaos. He's shooting shady deals from left to right, money and merchandise exchanging hands. Gangstas and debt collectors everywhere. Not seen much of Adam Sandler's roles before, lots of some kind of comic shit there I presume, but he's terribly good here as a bona fide bullshitter and con artist, yet still kind of sympathetic in its own right.
