‘Arbitrage’
Two Popcorns
Genre: Drama
Cast: Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Tim Roth, Brit Marling, Laetitia Casta, Nate Parker

Comment: A predictable, full-throated, Hollywood, "see spot run," broad-brush hit-piece about greedy, immoral, lawless Wall Streeters. Right in Gere's and Sarandon's "wheelhouse." Ok, enough, we got it!
