Wonderful movie, get my attention in the first 15 minutes. Taken from a billionaires' point view, introduce to the situation of the supreme rich guy, his business, and family. Very complicated and attractive epistasis.I see Miller's greedy, selfish and badly cheating both in marriage and business finessed; but Miller is also very charming with his wisdom, courage, and family loving heart.It is complicated to give an answer if he is a good or bad, human just complex. I was totally captivated when I watched this movie, this is not an action movie, but it just drives you into the screen. Miller is unfaithful to his wife for sure. Yet I don't like his "innocent" wife either, in the close end, the wife found out his accident died secret lover, she wanted a divorce and leave nothing to Miller, she said it is her price - to lie. I think she has more story from the screen, maybe she knew Miller's love affair much earlier, but she is calm in order to be the billionaire's wife.

Great script, great direction, great acting all round. Richard Gere in a meaty role is always good. Nate Parker is fantastic, loved Stuart Margolin too. The whole supporting cast is wonderful - real, understated, intelligent. Thought I was going to be bored rigid by a film about money but I was mesmerised, even though I don't actually understand a thing hedge funds or arbitrage or ANYTHING. Watch it.

Just like any financial companies and politicians we have in real life, it is all messed up with crooks who just want power and don't care about us ordinary people in making our society easier to manage. I think this movie really did good job in showing us how a corrupt person might act like and what why they were hiding their dark secrets. I honestly wish his mother and daughter interrupted his "special ceremony" and expose him to make him pay back for what he did to their companies money. It was so annoyed that the ending didn't show us if he was exposed or not. Damn it would make my day if he did, lol! Richard Gere was great in this and I'm glad he took a role that was rather darkish but he took the risk, fairplay to him. Susan Saradon was great to see too! I must watch their film "Shall we dance?" when I get the time. I hope its more happier than this but we will see how it turns out whenever I see it lol!Its really good but its a very gripping thriller, you are in for a ride kiddo!

This film is a complete failure! Because the plot doesn't recognize its own roots. It is supposed to be a thriller and a thriller is based in logical thinking, you take that out and the whole thing falls apart. The most important scene to establish this thing as a thriller is an auto crash accident that happens while Robert Miller (Richard Gere) is driving on a highway with his mistress Julie Cote (Laetitia Casta) in the passenger's seat. It so happens that Robert gets injured in the body and head but Julie dies. This crucial scene and the physical happenings tell you clearly that this is an accident. His reactions are rather ambivalent, is he angry? Is he sad? Is he sorry? Is he regretful? Perhaps all of this and none of it. Impossible to tell by his reactions that are all of these and more but cool. Nevertheless Robert gets panic and acts as if he has murdered her and tries by all means to cover up the whole thing. But not only that; the script of the film takes for granted that this is a crime and that Robert has deliberate murdered Julie. Robert appears to be the leader of a huge international conglomerate of very rich companies that require solid thinking and decision making. But no, after the accident Robert acts like a teenager without experience and leaves the scene of the accident in panic because he as well as the director of this film is convinced that he is a murderer. A real guy in the shoes of Robert would've called an ambulance trying to save the life of Julie, now that would've been the normal thing to do, but then you wouldn't have had this film. The result is a film in a created and artificial environment and therefore a failure as a thriller. It would've been better for the plot and the logistics of the film to do just that, be bolder, go for it the whole way, that's when good films are created: let Robert kill Julie. She was pressing him both with money and sentimentally, that would've been enough motives to create a credible crime scene leaving the rest of the film as it is and therefore a much better thriller.
