Moneyball

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2012)

i liked it, but wasn't taken away by it. the film certainly portrays an interesting, touching look on Baseball in a lot of times, and there's the crew and cast to thank for that. it is well shot, paced and overall well made to keep it entertaining, but the subject matter and the circumstances, for me, were not significant enough to earn the emotional impact that it skillfully goes for, and it's not very encouraging to see. the film also gets a bit stale around the details and the statistics of the game. the inclusion of Beane's family to expand on the main character, i thought was largely ineffective and poorly executed.
