As he approaches his 60th birthday, New York hedge-fund magnate Robert Miller (Richard Gere) is the picture of success -- at least on the surface. In reality, Miller is in over his head, trying desperately to sell his empire to a big bank before the authorities and his family uncover the depth of his fraud. Unexpectedly, a critical error forces Miller to juggle family, business and crime with the aid of a former associate, but a detective's (Tim Roth) suspicions mean it may already be too late.

Deborah Ross The Spectator Sep 4, 2018
So slyly and craftily entertaining even though it probably doesn't bear close scrutiny, I didn't much care. It wasn't epic. It didn't ask me to ponder the meaning of life. And it's good. Go to Full Review

Without Richard Gere at the center, Jarecki’s film wouldn’t work so well. Go to Full Review

It offers timely questions and enough entertaining mystery to play off of our tough economic times. Go to Full Review
David Bax Battleship Pretension Mar 11, 2021
In many ways, Arbitrage is the awards contender it may have first appeared to be. It is deep and meaningful and one of the most intelligent movies of the year. Go to Full Review

Harry W Nov 22, 2018 Well constructed, directed and acted. I had some trouble with the ending, but I think I figured it out. Spoiler : if he had not signed his wife's document, wouldn't he be in handcuffs? Some people complain about this movie, that Susan Sarandon was under used for instance. I like the "gotcha in the end" quality that her character commands. And for all the moralists that scream that the rich bastard got away with it, I want to believe that he did care about his family as he stated early and that this was a brutal punch to him as well as losing all his money, he lost everything...to see him in handcuffs would have been the ordinary story.

Draco S Jan 25, 2017 Los Miller representan la familia perfecta de Estados Unidos que han logrado construir un imperio a base de trabajo duro y Robert Miller (Richard Gere) el patriarca, está a punto de cerrar la venta de su empresa con lo que concluirá el paso final de una carrera exitosa. No obstante, un enorme fraude se encierra detrás esta negociación que podría ponerse al descubierto y generar conflictos familiares cuando los valores choquen con los intereses. Por otro lado, los amoríos de Miller podrían tener graves consecuencias cuando un conflicto policial parece alcanzarlo. Con Susan Sarandon, Tim Roth, Brit Marling, Laetitia Casta, y Nate Parker See more
Hermione P Jan 1, 2017 Good straight forward conspiracy / cover-up story that is worth a watch. Gere is very good alongside Sarandon
Albus S Jan 3, 2015 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. See more
