arbitrage (2012). directed by nicholas jarecki.


richard gere can actually hold the story on his own - of a billionaire on the brink of collapse trying to patch every single problems of his own doing on his own. at times when everything is going against him - i see not a man in distress, but a man analyzing his moves and weighing the odds of the best possible course of actions. this is business to him, a game that needs to be won - that he doesn't seemed too disturbed about causing the death of his mistress, he is willing to get friends to cover up his crime, not really feeling the guilt about cheating on his wife and family for that matter. in fact everyone around him is not as central as his dedication to play the game to save himself - they are just a bystander, a decoration aside the game. 

who knows what his real motivations are? nothing is that taboo if it gets you to the destination that you want to be.
