STILL PLAYING
“Arbitrage” ★★★½
Rated: R for language, brief violent images and drug use
Stars: Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Brit Marling, Nate Parker
Less a high-finance thriller than an elaborate morality play (in which few players take the moral high ground), “Arbitrage” basically wants to remind us of the terribly tangled web we start to weave when we deceive. It does confuse the issue somewhat by demonstrating it’s possible to prevail with deception, if you lie hard enough and smart enough — though in the end a price has to be paid. Gere is impressive as a billionaire hedge-fund magnate who finds his fortune and public reputation are up for grabs when book-cooking and philandering leave him open to charges of fraud and manslaughter — unless he can brazen his way out with lies and outwit a zealous detective (Tim Roth). The strange thing is, though he’s cold, ruthless, manipulative, arrogant and basically a world-class sleaze, you’re likely to find yourself rooting for him. Writer/director Nicholas Jarecki makes an impressive debut.
