Wall

Un discreto film di genere, con un buon cast(anche se Tim Roth poteva essere sfruttato meglio),una solida sceneggiatura ed una regia intelligente ed umile. Senza molti fronzoli e vincoli narrativi,Jarecki ci propone uno spaccato del capitalismo moderno,in cui gli Eletti che detengono la ricchezza manovrano il mondo come burattinai,perchè in fin dei conti tutti hanno un prezzo e prima o poi l accordo si trova.3*

...it goes in circles, more a dinasty-like soap opera than a movie which looks at the depth of finance's contradictions. Moreover, it's quite more or less already seen elsewhere.

Very adequate.

It seemed as if it was going to be compelling and suspenseful but ultimately, despite smart performances, it doesn't add up to much.

Boring stylistically but pure class in most other respects.

Sharp, poignant, and timely. 4.25, let's say.

If you're waiting for the thrills with this movie, you're going to miss the movie entirely. Treat it like a drama. It's a very good, cold-hearted drama.

Sure is fun to watch Gere scream viciously through this often unbearable script.

Disagree entirely. The script should be nominated for an Oscar. Wonderful script.

Gere is fantastic, but the film never lives up to his performance.

Richard Gere in full-on bastard mode, yet Arbitrage is so flat. A finance thriller that lacks fiscal tact and thrills. Read a proper review here: http://366movies.com/2012/12/12/346arbitrage/

The really good thing about this is HOW it ramps up the suspense, because on the whole, this story isn't anything new. An example of why execution and plot-weaving matters.

“Arbitrage” aims at New York wealthy class and belongs to those typical thrillers that do their job efficiently. Full review: http://www.alwayswatchgoodmovies.blogspot.pt/2012/09/arbitrage-2012.html

Richard Gere is excellent in this otherwise rather turgid drama about a successful Wall Street banker who finds himself in over his head when he flees the scene of a car accident that left his mistress dead. Now he risks not only exposing his crime, but his fraudulent deals. Mistakes bad decisions for moral complexity, becoming lost along the way between its two simultaneous dramas.

Chinatown updated for the financial collapse, delivered by actors who speak their lines with all the passion of a high school class forced to read Shakespeare aloud. Lighting sets new bar for banality. Excruciating.

I thought Jarecki did a really good job with the script. No visual flares, but this material doesn't call for it. The film is a good depiction of how certain people, high up in our society, can get away with "murder" and more. No consequences for the man with the right amount in his pocket book.
