‘End of Watch’
Four popcorns
Genre: Drama

‘Arbitrage’
Two Popcorns
Genre: Drama
Cast: Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Tim Roth, Brit Marling, Laetitia Casta, Nate Parker
Director: Nicholas Jarecki
Rating: R
Comment: A predictable, full-throated, Hollywood, "see spot run," broad-brush hit-piece about greedy, immoral, lawless Wall Streeters. Right in Gere's and Sarandon's "wheelhouse." Ok, enough, we got it!

Comment: One of Cage's better recent flicks. A real nail-biter!
