Arbitrage

Great movie for investors, with one flaw - the end! The end left a TON of issues unresolved.

>"Confidence equals contract."

Richard Gere plays a good rich smug cheater who gets caught in a rut. This hedge fund thriller that no one talks about is actually pretty good, and I think the cast has something to do with it.

It was soooo slow, I had half a mind of just getting up and leaving. No doubt that Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon are great actors, but none of them could hold me to my seat. I kept eating popcorn because there was nothing else that was as interesting. A let-down, in spite of Gere's presence.

Couldn't stay motivated to keep watching this - the first part of the movie was spent laboriously putting together all the elements of the future conflicts but I felt no sense I was going to get surprises or characters acting against type - it was just going to be watching a series of predictable set pieces play out.

Not bad if a bit glossy.
