Arbitrage

#1 Post by Yinster » Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:30 pm

This film is the next Unlimited Screening on Monday 25th February at 20:15 in Cineworlds except Aberdeen Queens link, Chelsea & Haymarket.

Synopsis

The life of a millionaire hedge-fund magnate unravels in this engrossing corporate drama. Robert Miller (Gere) is approaching his 60th birthday and has established a multi-million dollar trading empire. He appears to be the epitome of personal and financial prosperity. However, panic is brewing behind the scenes. Miller is attempting to sell his vast empire to a major bank whilst avoiding detection for his fraudulent activities. Not only that, he's also cheating on his wife Ellen (Susan Sarandon) with art dealer Julie (Laetitia Casta). One false move later and he arouses the suspicions of NYPD Detective Michael Bryer (Tim Roth). As his world begins to unravel, Robert strives to maintain the image of the successful, all-American businessman. He's the man who appears to have it all - but is he on the verge of losing everything? Nicholas Jarecki's thoughtful directorial debut features a superb, Golden Globe-nominated performance from Richard Gere.

I've seen this and it's actually pretty cool. Richard Gere is electrifying in his role as a troubled hedge-fund tycoon thrust into a situation whereby the questionable elements of his life threaten to destroy him.

The story is all too familiar but it's well directed, suspenseful and thoroughly absorbing. Highly recommended.

PS. Familiarity with the jargon of the investment banking (under)world is not at all necessary but if anyone's interested, arbitrage is the act whereby a banker takes advantage of price differences between several markets.

Just got back from the premiere. Still trying to work out what I think of the film to be honest...
I can definitely see why Gere has been nominated for best actor, superb acting, but I thought the storyline was a bit of a let down. There was a serious lack of a twist and also the ending was very strange. It almost seemed like they thought the film had been going on long enough and just said cut.
6/10 (purely because the acting was so good)
