We tend to identify with the protagonist of a film, even if he is a callous jerk. Few films capture this enigma better than Nicholas Jarecki’s “Arbitrage Movies,” and few performers have done a better job of making it work than Richard Gere. Here’s a man involved in a multimillion-dollar scam who cheats on his wife, attempts to cover up his mistress’s murder, and would toss his own daughter under a bus. Nonetheless, we are tight with tension as we watch him try to get away with it.

Gere has always been a terrific actor at implying mysteries beneath the surface. He has aged here into the epitome of a Wall Street lion, rich billions, charming, kind, revered, and a fraud to his bones. He portrays Robert Miller, whose visage must have shone reassuringly from countless magazine covers.

As the tale begins, he is involved in the merging of his venture capital company and has hidden $400 million in debt from both investors and his daughter, Brooke (Brit Marling). She is his empire’s CFO. She is young and intelligent, and she has no reason to assume her father has tampered with the books. If the fraud is discovered, she will be hanged. We only have recollections of Bernie Madoff’s business partners and family members. Both Madoff and Miller, who were influenced by him in many respects, commanded trust, affection, and admiration from those who should have dug deeper.

Robert Miller has another issue: Julie Cote (Laetitia Casta), a high-maintenance mistress who has launched an art gallery. Miller is the type of man who needs a prominent girlfriend, even if she must stay anonymous. Ellen (Susan Sarandon), his wife, is aware of his deception and accepts it as part of the game. She’s the type of “corporate wife” who must have comprehended the Supreme Court’s conclusion that a company is a person.

Julie understands how to get Miller’s attention. He was taking her somewhere late one night as a favor when he dozed off, and the automobile crashed, killing her. He considers making a mobile phone call (to 911 or his lawyer? ), reconsiders, walks away from the accident in agony, and uses a payphone to call Jimmy Grant (Nate Parker), the son of a former chauffeur for whom Miller did personal favors.

Grant rushes to his aid, turning him into a witness after the fact. Miller is in anguish inside, but he ignores it, keeps himself together, displays his customary slick confidence, and continues to juggle the business transaction. But when Michael Bryer (Tim Roth), a scruffy police detective, investigates the accident site, he notices something is off. Miller is surprised when he seems to interrogate him. Roth exudes nonchalant conversational interest while hiding malice.

We’ve seen pieces of this situation before, but in his debut picture, young writer-director Nicholas Jarecki demonstrates himself to be a great craftsman with a core of moral fury. He understands how to write a thrilling thriller that is so well-crafted that I felt compelled to be a part of it. “Arbitrage Movies” exemplifies strong writing and sound construction in service of believable characters. Rather than depending on third-act action, it conveys a tale. It is in the traditional style.

Hitchcock’s most famous topic was “The Innocent Man Wrongly Accused.” Jarecki raises the stakes by providing us with a Guilty Man Accurately Accused, which is what makes the picture so cleverly engaging.

We can’t help but sympathize with the protagonist. It’s written in our genetic code. We witness in horror as Miller is prepared to betray anybody – Jimmy Grant, his daughter, or his wife — in order to win at any cost. This picture, particularly its finale, could not have been made under the previous Production Code.

It signifies a fundamental shift in conventional ideals. It is an assault on the new American mentality that prioritizes riches over morals. Many of us may think of Robert Miller as an example of a financial executive who sells worthless assets to those who trust him and then bets against them. This was one of the Wall Street misdeeds that contributed to the 2008 financial crisis. Those thieves were never charged with anything. They’re still working.

“Arbitrage Movies” is not only a terrific thriller, but it also demonstrates convincingly how the very wealthy can get away with murder.
