Wall Street scams get personal in Richard Gere's 'Arbitrage'

In the new film drama ‘Arbitrage,’ Richard Gere brings shady Wall Street dealings to the big screen as a hedge fund titan trying to cover up huge losses from a risky copper investment. The scheming recalls real-life scandals and high-flying bankers who made headlines and brought populist scorn to Wall Street during the recent financial crisis. While the public may be hungry to watch the downfall of a greedy banker, Gere’s character in the movie that opens in U.S. theaters on Friday isn’t an all-around bad guy.
