    same (older) Richard Gere

    by thisispenny

    Movie was OK-Susan Sarandon was great ( as usual). Richard Gere played the same classy, womanizing, power hungry guy with the bare necessity of scruples as he has played before. Script reminded me a lot of Wall Street and the Michael Douglas character- ( although Richard Gere's character killed somebody and didn't come across as totally without empathy like Gordon Geko.

    In keeping with the times...

    by ChinaRider

    Makes you wonder where all of the bodies are buried in real life. Great cast. Best role Richard Gere has done in a long while. Wouldn't hold breath for Oscar noms, but entertaining and worth the few hours.

    ONE OF THE WORST!!!

    by SAMSCUBADIVER

    Had the mis-fortune of seeing this horrible excuse of a film over the week-end. It starts out slow and the only speed it picks up is the car crash! Other than that, it moves at a snails pace, very choppy and while the acting is marginal to OK, there are no great or dramatic scenes. Watching the grass grow is one of the only things that move slower than this flick. Should be out on cable and DVD/Blue-ray in the next 5-6 weeks.

    Enjoyed Arbitrage

    by Beantown02178

    Saw Arbitrage yesterday and really enjoyed it; suspenful with a few good twists. First time in ages I've been to a movie and the theatre was almost full!

    good but a little heavy handed

    by pmaddock

    It was a good flick to watch but a little heavy handed at points. There comes a point where you have to say - yes I know that the ultra rich on wall street operate by different rules already. Fortunately the performances are good - esp Ms. Sarandon's performance within a performance. She rarely dissappoints.

    Arbitrage

    by lball

    basically entertaining, however, why did the script writer feel it necessary to have every character say the F word. It took away from any uniqueness in the characters. Was it a private joke?

    Absolutely did not like the abrupt ending. Made it seem like a made for TV movie Part I and part two would be on next week to conclude the story.

    Would have liked to see more of Sarandon and that relationship with Gere seemed like it just broke the surface of its complexity as well as the relationship with Gere, Nate Parkers' character and his father. But I guess you can only tell so much of the story in the limited time. Perhaps the the abrupt ending was a precursor to a sequel :)

    Thanks for the opportunity to share!

    Great Wall Street Movie

    by pedsarq

    Gere plays a dirty hedge fund manager who has more than dirty books to cook. He's true to the stereotypical boss in high finance with mistress and all. However, what drives the plot are his actions after a fatal car accident in which he flees the scene. This movie works well as a suspense thriller in the world of high finance.

    ARBITRAGE

    by nutts4movies

    If you really want to work for a Hedge Fund - you should watch this movie. If you lost money in a Hedge Fund - it will, probably, make you nauseous.

    What a wicked web we weave...

    by sbdrn

    Richard Gere at his best as he dips, dives & squirms out of 1 mess right into another. He never loses his cool as his life threatens to collapse around him & seems to thrive on it. Well acted & a plot that keeps you on your toes. Loved the movie - especially the ending....

    Richard Gere and Nate Parker were fantastic

    by Loreto19

    Great acting by Richard Gere, Nate Parker and Susan Sarandon. Terrible performances by Laetitia Casta, Tim Roth and Graydon Carter.
    The movie is well paced. Great NY locations. I had a good time despite the above mentioned bad acting.

    Will he get away with it? Is it worth it?

    by JohnHortum

    I was intrigued even though Gere's Robert is someone for whom one can have no sympathy. This movie takes one in as you watch a mman play several groups off each other including his own family. The acting is phenomenal even though the characters are perverse.

    Not bad...

    by npd4866

    It was a good movie and had some good twists. My wife wanted to see it, so I did. Richard Geere as usual pulled it off and did a good job. I'd give it a 7 out of 10...not God Father or Star Wars...but a solid movie.

    Arbitrage rating

    by ewdooley

    Very good movie.

    It did have a few moments of disconnect but connections were later.
    The plot works but seams a little uneven.

    Yet I would recommend seeing the movie.

    THOSE INVOLVED IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE WILL BE BEWILDERED BY THE MISINTERPRETED LINGO. RICHARD GERE GIVES ANOTHER GENUINE PERFORMANCE AS THE SOMEWHAT SHIFTY "ROBERT MILLER".

    by Peneflix

    "Arbitrage" is the simultaneous buying and selling of a security at two different prices in two different markets, resulting in profits without risk." It is NOT illegal and this film does NOT address "arbitrage"...

    Predictably, the successful capitalist is untoward, manipulative, earning his ill-gotten wealth, not by skill and ingenuity but subterfuge, fraud. Devastatingly handsome Richard Gere is "Robert Miller" the "master of the universe" , the "rainmaker", the hedge-fund king whose "Midas touch" is in jeopardy of turning bronze; Gere imbues the character with enough smarmy charm and sagacity to captivate the viewer. Reminiscent of "Bonfire of the Vanities" an adulterous affair could result in his undoing; nevertheless a streak of the humane saves "Robert" from drowning in moral turpitude...

    TWO & 1/2 STARS!!
