Lionsgate Films has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray director Nicholas Jarecki's thriller Arbitrage (2012), starring Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Tim Roth, and Brit Marling. The release will be available for purchase on December 21.
Robert Miller (Gere) is a New York hedge-fund magnate who appears to have it all: money, power, a loving wife (Sarandon), and a devoted daughter (Marling) working by his side. But behind the gilded wall of his mansion, Miller is running on borrowed time, trying to unload his crippled trading company before his frauds are revealed. A deadly error throws Miller's "perfect life" in a tailspin, raising the suspicions of a detective (Roth) and threatening the future of his financial empire. As the line blurs between what is right and wrong, legal and criminal, Miller is driven to desperate measures to protect the only thing more precious than his considerable fortune: his family.
Special Features:
Audio commentary with writer/director Nicholas Jarecki
"Who Is Robert Miller?" featurette
"A Glimpse Into Arbitrage" featurette
Deleted scenes with optional writer/director commentary
I watched this on pay-per-view and even though it was somewhat predictable, the performances make up the difference. Richard Gere really knocks this one outta the park. Oscar worthy performance.
