This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It is always nice to get out while you are on top, before you are caught with your finger in the pie. This is what a dishonest, cheating Robert Miller (Richard Gere) is attempting to do. This is a semi-crime drama that comes at you rather fast with no time for character build up. Robert Miller is unlikeable, but the film doesn't build character for anyone else. I found myself rooting for minor characters who are more honest than Miller, but not puritanical.Brit Marling as the overly smart daughter played a convincing role, but Susan Sarandon as the wife did not have the lines she needed to excel. The individual scene dialouge was predictable. The film is more of a crime drama with the financial empire and deals being part of the background dealings setting up Gere's character.Might be worth watching once. A film you will forget an hour after you have seen it. Not a keeper.Parental Guide: F-bombs, brief sex, no nudity

Not much to say. Im sorry but too biring. Maximum 5!!!

at the first sigh, seductive duel between Susan Sarandon and Richard Gere. in fact, one of the seductive thrillers. not only for the portrait of the lead character but for the remember of old truth. because it is a film about the price of success. about the glory and about the family. about limits. and it has the virtue to give to Richard Gere a beautiful challenge to do a great role. short, the world of business and the temptations who are perfect cages . selfishness. and the mistake who change entire universe of a man. and, sure, the wake up. later.

The banking and financial crash from 2008 has provided us with a number of movies to sink our teeth (or claws) into as we seek to understand what makes those high up in the financial industry tick. In recent years we have seen the sequel to Wall Street, bringing Gordon Gekko back from the 80's 'Greed is Good' culture, but with more interesting dramas like John Wells 'The Company Men' and J.C. Chandor's excellent 'Margin Call' the genre has been elevated above that of the mobile phones the size of a house brick, Filofaxes and slicked back hair. Richard Gere plays Robert Miller a hedge fund manager in the financial district of New York, and we soon find out his private life is much more complicated than flights in a private jet and signing off million dollar deals. Loyal wife Ellen (Sarandon) and daughter Brooke (Marling) who is trying to establish herself in her father's firm as heir apparent are seen to have the all the trappings of success in their lives. However we are then introduced to Millar's secrets, his mistress, art dealer Julie (Laetitia Casta) along with the fact he is chasing a signature from a rival CEO to buy his firm after he has fraudulently cooked the books to hide a disastrous transaction leaving him near broke. Millar exudes the confidence on the outside, but the cracks begin to show, and when the strain of potentially losing his mistress makes him decide to get away from the pressure, this leads to a tragic car accident leaving him with a crucial decision to make. In a corner Millar then calls on an old contact to help him out, cold and calculating and backed in a corner this is where we see why Millar has got to the top, he doesn't panic, the crisis brings out the worst in him as a person but this is survival mode. What he doesn't count on is Detective Bryer (Roth) investigating the accident, who instinctively knows what happened and will do anything to prove it. A really well paced and thoughtful thriller, with an excellent supporting cast, Roth perfect as the seemingly always slouching but knowing NYPD detective. Sarandon is excellent in every scene she appears but is criminally underused. However this is Gere's movie. His best role in years, he has all the confidence and grey haired charm, without being slimy, bringing another greedy money obsessed character to the screen, and despite this, with all that is happening to him, you are almost rooting for him. Almost.
