Tight little thriller with a great cast. Looking forward to seeing more from Jarecki.

Gere has the look for this role, but the role lacks the touch. The film is intriguing but not mesmerising, emotional but not gripping, topical but not relevant, smooth but not delightful, admirable but not embraceable. This is a fine effort, skilful, it just doesn't manage to come together well enough to be anything other than another face in the crowd.

Richard Gere was born to play to role of the sleazy, scheming businessman and he really does carry this film. The screenplay is just "ok" and the plot is hit-and-miss with some genuinely tense moments but also quite a few contrived twists. I wouldn't call any aspect of this movie "bad," but none of it lives up to the performances that Gere and Roth give. Their interaction is easily the best part of the movie and elevates an overall unremarkable film into "above average" territory.

A very decent drama/thriller with great actors. Yes we've seen Richard Gere in similar roles a million times before, but he still delivers a rock solid performance with very strong support from Susan Sarandon, Tim Roth and I particularly took notice of the moving performance by Nate Parke (who I don't recall even though having seen The Great Debaters).

This movie wasn't great or terrible it just was out there. I found it hard to feel bad for Richard Gere at all for his situation, I was even more infuriated by how the police were handling themselves in this movie. Then to top it off Susan Sarandon was in this and was just as much of a wicked witch as she always is. The one golden beacon of light for this film was the fact that Tim Roth and Brit Manning were cast in this to even out the movie. Those two were great. This did have some tense parts

Didn't finish because I was tired and everything without Tim Roth was failing to hold my attention. It seemed the kind of film that I could really get into if I wasn't sleepy and had the desire to care about the film, so I'll probably have to watch it again to give it a fair score. That said, I did really enjoy Roth. I would recommend it just for him. I need to watch more things with him in it.

Arbitrage is way more exciting a film than I'd anticipated... the kind of movie where it's OK if it jumps gears to focus on another plot strand because, somehow, that one's even more involving. Richard Gere's performance is superb, his role as the high-flyer fighting in the face of bad karma surprisingly nuanced and layered with more shades of grey than I'd anticipated. Direction and editing are suitably claustrophobic; the script is taut, sharp, convincing, & marvellously plotted. full rvw@lbxd

Succinctly displays a message that modern ultra-rich criminals can get away with anything, at the expense of the less-fortunate and those that surround their lives. However, this thriller is barely captivating and could have benefited from more of Tim Roth's side-plot.

Douchey bigshot gets into a lot of trouble and feels the walls closing in on him, inch by inch, minute after minute; Other than following his potential downfall with sadistic fascination, Jarecki's first feature didn't provide much cinematic weight for me to chew on. Underwhelming payoff.

Gere gives his best -- I do really think he's good --, but Jarecki doesn't have enough skills to elevate this financial-crisis-thriller from its well-informed, tense but ultimately predictable terrain of ideas.

A very decent thriller, something not expected from Richard Gere. The premise of the story isnt something new but the movie is well paced. I would say this movie scores higher than what I would have originally given because of the ending. It doesnt end with the main protagonist ending with a moral conscious.

Robert Miller is an extremely bad person, but we sympathize with him the entire time, which is the kind of trick that I love the movies for. Richard Gere is perfectly cast, leading a good ensemble that includes Susan Sarandon, Brit Marling and the excellent Tim Roth. The generic financial thriller score makes it feel cheap, but the script, look and feel are all strong. Better than 2011's Margin Call.

Solid morality play that feels like a throwback to a top-tier eighties thriller but is in fact a compelling character study. Gere is remarkably good in this, and the support is strong. Jarecki has made an extremely assured debut - the measured pacing is great, the screenplay involving and the ending for once is not a cop-out but rather a quietly devastating illustration of one man's Pyrrhic victory.

Richard Gere plays well as the anti-hero/villainous protagonist Robert Miller. Miller holds true to a set of principles (based around money and maximization), no matter who gets hurt. And that's where the story takes off as Miller starts involving more people in his lies he has to create new ones to cover. With its great screenplay and well-paced plot by first time writer-director Jarecki, Arbitrage maintains a high level of suspense through its character interactions.

Not terrible, but fairly forgettable. Jarecki cheats a couple times, employing deus ex machina to affect characters in unpredictably contrived ways, so much of the suspense for me was in wondering how Jarecki might try to screw Gere next. Also, Jarecki's heavy-handedness in portraying the moral bankruptcy of the super-rich was not to my taste.

Richard Gere is the best I have ever seen him as an absolutely detestable human being who lies and cheats to nearly everyone around him in order to get what he wants. The rest of the movie is good, not great, but it kept me guessing right up to the end. Worth seeing just for Gere's performance.
