Arbitrage is a 2012 drama directed by Nicholas Jarecki starring Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Tim Roth, and Brit Marling.Billionaire hedge fund manager Robert Miller (Gere) seemingly has it all: a loving family and a hugely successful company he's about to sell to a major bank for a huge profit. Unfortunately, this is all a facade: an investment gone bad created a whopping $400 million hole which he covered up by cooking the books and taking out a loan, which could land him in jail for a long time. His only hope is for the sale to go forward so that the money is replaced but the prospective buyer seems to be stalling. To make matters worse, Miller is also cheating on his wife with a young artist and while driving her to a romantic escapade, he falls asleep and crashes the car, killing her. Miller escapes and has Jimmy, the son of his former driver, pick him up from the crash site. The crash is then investigated by NYPD Detective Bryer (Roth) who has a massive chip on his shoulder regarding rich people who escape justice. The rest of the movie revolves around Miller juggling to keep his fraud, cheating and manslaughter a secret...but can he do it?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Grey and Grey Morality: Miller has commited fraud, adultery and manslaughter and seeks to cover up all three yet he clearly regrets his actions and is trying to save the money and reputations of all involved. Detective Bryer has noble motives and a very relatable desire to see a billionaire pay for the crime he committed for once but goes through increasingly questionable means to do so, culminating in forging evidence.

Hypocrite: At the beginning of the film, Miller gives an interview claiming he took a huge short position on the housing market during the biggest housing boom in history because his parents (who grew up during The Great Depression) had taught him that bad things always happen. Turns out that the whole reason he's in this mess is because he sunk $400 million in a Russian copper mine with huge returns that he thought would keep going forever until the Russian government suddenly decided to stop exporting copper, leaving the money in limbo.
