This is a glitzy tale of Robert Miller (Gere) one of the "biggest swinging d****" on Wall Street. Though in late middle age he still has the obligatory mistress, beautiful family and an investment fund that he is trying to sell to another "bsd." The plot seems so pedestrian that I was just about to walk out when the plot took a slight change of direction. To tell you more would ruin it for anyone intending to see this flick, but even though I decided to tough it out, I cannot honestly recommend seeing this in the theater. It can easily be put off until cable or the video store gets it. Gere as usual is great. Sarandon is nothing special in a very pedestrian role. Brit Marling seems above average as Gere's daughter and co-worker and Stuart Margolin who I have not seen since The Rockford Files is very good as Gere's attorney. If you would like to see another movie about how the other half live and why they don't deserve it, this is your opportunity.
