Arbitrage (2012 Nicholas Jarecki & scr)

Richard Gere (63 playing 60!), Susan Sarandon, Tim Roth, Brit Marling, Nate Parker (good).

Gere looks like a multi-millionaire, but he's got himself into a lot of financial trouble (he can't even afford the two mill his wife wants for the charity function), and things get even worse when he kills his mistress. Muddy film doesn't really drive its spear into anything tangible, but slips down nicely like a good Burgundy.

'Arbitrage' is not a good title.  Even I, an ex-banker, do not know what arbitrage is. What is a good title?
