Review of Arbitrage (2012) by Olly H — 30 Jun 2013

3: Richard Gere plays this sort of rich guy character rather well. So does Michael Douglas of course. I was actually expecting this to be a bit less pessimistic of a film in that I expected the "bad guy" to get more of his comeuppance.

Capitalism is an interesting system to be sure. This isn't as insightful of an exploration of some of its shortfalls as some, but it's still quite engaging and watchable. It reminded me of a cross between The Game, Margin Call and something like Wall Street/Boiler Room.

In other words, both a thriller and a bit of something to say.
