A Fantastic Film!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2011)

'Moneyball' is a Fantastic Film, in all respects. Bennett Miller's Direction is skilled, Steven Zaillian & Aaron Sorkin's Screenplay is wonderful, and the performances, are excellent!
'Moneyball is The story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane's successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players.
'Moneyball' executes Billy Beane's Exhillirating Journey with flourish. His journey comes alive on-screen with mesmerizing ease. Steven Zaillian & Aaron Sorkin's is truly wonderful, because not only does it succeed by arresting your attention, but it also cleverly manages to move you. Bennett Miller's Direction Skilled. Cinematography by Wally Pfister is perfect. Editing is sharp. Art Design is good. Music by Mychael Danna is superb.
Performance-Wise: Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, is astonishing. The Superstar plays Beane with the energy & urgency he needed, and I truly consider this performance to be among Pitt's best works to date. Jonah Hill is brilliant. A Performance that proves that Hill, is way beyond, than just comedy! Philip Seymour Hoffman is competent, as always. Kathryn Morris is first-rate. Chris Pratt does well. Robin Wright leaves a mark in a small cameo. Others lend the required support.
On the whole, 'Moneyball' is among the best films of 2011. Two Thumbs Up!
