Fantastic!
A Disappointing Continuation
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
at the first sigh, seductive duel between Susan Sarandon and Richard Gere. in fact, one of the seductive thrillers. not only for the portrait of the lead character but for the remember of old truth. because it is a film about the price of success. about the glory and about the family. about limits. and it has the virtue to give to Richard Gere a beautiful challenge to do a great role. short, the world of business and the temptations who are perfect cages . selfishness. and the mistake who change entire universe of a man. and, sure, the wake up. later.
Well, I have always been an honest guy, due to the education my family has given to me. Therefore, it's easy to guess how shocked I was while watching this movie. "Arbitrage" is a film about a businessman whose life gets in danger after his scam start getting scammed, and after he takes the life of his lover in a car accident. In this context, Gere's character tries everything in his power in order to get away with or murder, or to at least continue a life out of jail. However, things are very hard to be done; most of his issues involve his family, and not even a conniving wife seems able to save it all. It is interesting to notice that everyone in this picture is corruptible; even Jimmy, who appeared to be a prudent man, ends up doing what's best for himself. Well, I'm not a pessimist guy who thinks the world is full of people who only care about money; however, I'm very aware that some segments of every society are just as dishonest as they could be, and "Arbitrage" was able to remember me of that. My main surprise about the characters happened with Ellen Miller, who knew it all from the get go and never did anything about it. So, considering all these aspects I've mentioned, and considering the story is completely entertaining, my vote is nine. Great movie!
Arbitrage's glue is Richard Gere's performance. Over the years, Gere has developed into a fine actor, putting behind him the woodenness evident in high-profile roles like An Officer and a Gentleman and Pretty Woman. No longer a sex symbol, Gere has sought out movies that challenge him to hone his craft, and Arbitrage is an example of this. He discovers the balance necessary to make Miller credible and interesting, sympathetic and despicable. That we're conflicted about whether we want the character to beat the charges or fall to them is ample evidence that Gere succeeds.By Arturo Montenora
This is one of those vain movies a person regret watching. If you want to waste your time with a movie that will leave you with nothing to take in or even think about - then go ahead. Otherwise, skip this movie that gives a glimpse of the lifestyle of the reach people who have both wives and mistresses and do illegal actions. Those characters are not elaborate, the film lacks deeper perspective instead of the cliché that rich people get away with crime, yet they lose the respect and adulation of their love ones which is what matters. It is all so superficial that does not leave the viewer with anything to take from it. The characters are stereotypical, the plot is not elaborate and it does not tell any story of the stock market well described other than some accounting illegal actions, which are also superficially told. All in all, wateful resources to make this movie.
