Review of Arbitrage (2012) by Alex M — 31 Jul 2017

This film is at its best with Gere under pressure....which is most of the movie.

The guy shows flawless acting in a suspense film about a man doing what's wrong and how it will bite you in the ass.

It's a study too of money talks and you can walk.

Gere plays a successful CEO who you think at first is a good family man.

You quickly realize he is kind of a sleeze ball who is having an affair with a younger woman.

Things spiral all of control when he gets in a car accident and kills her.

Instead of doing the right thing and calling 911, he flees the seen, calls someone to pick him up, which eventually involves him in the crime.

It spirals more out of control in this tense tout thriller that has a quick message abrupt ending.

Gere makes the Fantastic movie that is flawed but good nonetheless.
