As he approaches his 60th birthday, New York hedge-fund magnate Robert Miller (Richard Gere) is the picture of success -- at least on the surface. In reality, Miller is in over his head, trying desperately to sell his empire to a big bank before the authorities and his family uncover the depth of his fraud. Unexpectedly, a critical error forces Miller to juggle family, business and crime with the aid of a former associate, but a detective's (Tim Roth) suspicions mean it may already be too late.

Deborah Ross The Spectator So slyly and craftily entertaining even though it probably doesn't bear close scrutiny, I didn't much care. It wasn't epic. It didn't ask me to ponder the meaning of life. And it's good. Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Anna Smith metro.co.uk Pleasing twists and moral dilemmas abound. Rated: 4/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Monica Castillo Dig Boston Really, it could use some nip/tuck on the screenplay, but the players are decent and the movie looks opulent enough. Apr 13, 2016 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Without Richard Gere at the center, Jarecki’s film wouldn’t work so well. Rated: 3/4 Sep 27, 2022 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson It offers timely questions and enough entertaining mystery to play off of our tough economic times. Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2022 Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension In many ways, Arbitrage is the awards contender it may have first appeared to be. It is deep and meaningful and one of the most intelligent movies of the year. Mar 11, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Mikki S 'Arbitrage' was one of the most disappointing films I’ve seen in a long time. The entire storyline felt hollow, overly focused on greed, and failed to deliver any meaningful resolution. The narrative keeps you on edge but ultimately leads nowhere. We’re expected to sympathize with a billionaire who never truly cared about his family until it threatened his public image. To make matters worse, the film portrays law enforcement in a negative light and glorifies moral compromises, suggesting that preserving wealth and reputation outweighs doing what’s right. A dry, unsatisfying watch from start to finish. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review James B great performances by richard gere susan surandon and tim roth but the dude got away with it what the heck didnt like the ending Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Avalon T Good movie with excellent acting and lots of suspense. Will he or won't he? It keeps you wondering. There,are so many mediocre movies available, it's refreshing to see something worth watching. Definitely recommend this one. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Rian L Great movie. Great characters. This movie is on Tubutv.com. Also, I searched Rotten Tomatoes for MANY movies that were streaming on Tubi, so I can understand them, and see ratings, prior to viewing. You are CHEATING the public when you show movies and shows streaming sites that are pay only. That is a true shame. Why would you not include Tubitv? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/04/23 Full Review Warren S Good acting. Pretty good story. Why did they have to give Tim Roth an American accent? It was a major distraction and totally unnecessary. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Margie M Same Richard Gere cheating crap. It was a boring movie and I don't recommend it to anyone with marriage vow morals. The guy Richard Gere is playing is scum of the earth and a lying cheat. Movies like this just rub me the wrong way! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
