Arbitrage (2012)

Readying his company to sell for a handsome profit, hedge fund magnate Richard Gere is trying to hold it all together while the lies he has told and the corruption he has endorsed in his personal and professional life threaten to pull it all apart. Just like watching episodes of Billions, the financial maneuvers go a bit over my head and just like in Billions, the strength of the story rests on its lead performances. Richard Gere carries it off well, deceitfully charming, making it believable that he could get away with anything because no one with any power will ever call him on it.
