I don't know if the ending was disappointing or just shocking! I really liked the plot as it had several twists, but the acting was sub-par. I like Susan Sarandon, but her performance was lacking, except for her 'conclusion' speech.

A fairly good boy-did-I-screw-up-bigtime movie. Gere is the main reason for watching what would otherwise be a below-average film. His performance is excellent. Sarandon is mostly wasted but has a great scene near the end. I agree with the…

Directed by Nicholas Jarecki, this is a 2012 American drama that turns out a well-crafted story with a tense, gripping and edge-at-your-seat thriller.
Although it's a crackling and ingeniously involving story, it somewhat disappoints me…

Fabulous acting, great script and a plot that does not preach at all. Real characters...what does he do at the end, does he take the deal??? Wonder what others think.

This is a good film. Gere is a great villain and makes the film. The plot is rather thin and complicated, so it's hard to follow. Worst of all, the end of the film is ambiguous and Gere doesn't get his just deserts --- jail time. Guess…

Richard Gere's performance saves this film from mediocrity. A story about the depravity of a financier obsessed with power and wealth, there's nothing surprising here except perhaps the ending--which is more realistic than one might…

An above-average thriller with some decent performances to paper over some pretty contrived situations.

Although I thought this was a pretty typical Hollywood movie, I actually enjoyed the commentary by the (1st time Hollywood) director more than the movie. I thought his recap of his personal history (he's young so it's short) was…

Superior acting! Richard was captivating but had good supporting cast too that pulled all the pieces togther. Excellent plot driven movie with layer upon layer.

While it is unusual that her left wing would even consider one raising funds for a hospital as a money groveling spouse, the roles that both Richard Gere and Susan Saradon are so predictable. The casting was poor for both roles in case…

What a good movie! Richard Gere is a wonderful actor, and he definitely makes this movie excellent. Very entertaining, the script is tight, keeps you tense to the end. The moral side of the whole movie is quite strong, especially where the…

I really enjoyed this movie. Good story line and well acted. Kept me interested the whole way through. I think that this story line portrays what really often happens in our society.

The whole movie pivots around Richard Gere's character and he carries it off very well. The story is suspenceful, the characters are interesting, and the moral lessons are compelling. I was surprised at how good this movie is.
