Film Review – Arbitrage

Unlike many other adult dramas, “Arbitrage” doesn’t feature a single
sympathetic character. It’s a slightly incomplete story of privileged
people using their influence to further fraud and dodge manslaughter,
manipulating those beneath them. It’s a compelling tale of reptilian
behavior and escalating legal woes, best appreciated for a few fine
performances and writer/director Nicholas Jarecki’s attention to
merciless acts of business world survival, embodied heroically in star
Richard Gere’s bravely unlikeable work. Although it never ties together
as securely as it should, “Arbitrage” carries itself with a confident
sense of gloom and panic, keeping the mysteries at hand persuasive
despite storytelling that flames out instead of building ominously. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
