Aaron Sorkin's home run

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2012)

Aaron Sorkin returns after writing The Social Network to pen this great film that allows Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill to give great performances that were well deserving of their award nominations.
In the same way that Sorkin was able to write a film that could still be interesting to people who do not have or like Facebook here he takes the concept of Baseball but chooses instead to make the film not about the sport and more about the relationships between the people who are involved in it.
Pitt gives a leading performance and the sharp writing of Sorkin allows this to come through. Hill has appeared in a wide range of films but in Moneyball really shows how good of an actor he can be.
Overall this is a film for people who both love baseball and for people who have no understanding of it at all. War Horse and The Iron Lady may have stolen the awards but Moneyball is a underrated great.
