    same (older) Richard Gere

    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.

    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!

    leep

    What a horribly disappointing ending to a otherwise brilliant, exciting and well acted film.
    This movie is still worth seeing even though it leaves the audience in disbelief!

    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".

    "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!!

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

    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.

    Loved the movie. Must see! Acting all around is superb. As for Richard Grer he hasn't lost it at all. He's still a fox in his later years and still has the sexy walk.

    ONE OF THE WORST!!!

    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.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was suspenseful and kept me in my seat. It had been a very long time since I had been to the movies and I was so glad this movie brought me back. I'd give this movie 5 stars!

    Richard Gere and Nate Parker were fantastic

    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.
