Arbitrage



Tonight I have been to see Arbitrage.

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.
