Moneyball Hit's One Out Of The Park

Rating: Null/10 (6 October 2011)

This is one of those baseball movies where, even having been a baseball fan back in '02 and vividly remembering the Oakland A's phenomenal run, there's no way the suspense and eagerness to see this team reach success won't grab you. The cast is believable, I can't think of a single character I would have changed, and Brad Pitt has handed in one of his best - if not his very best - performance. Kerris Dorsey, as Billy Beane's daughter is a delight and has a dandy singing voice, too. The song she sings will stick in your mind and, like me, will likely find you whistling this tune as you leave the theater. If you're not familiar with the workings of building a baseball team, or keeping one motivated to build on a winning streak, this film will give you a good inside glimpse of how it's done. I'm thinking you're going to really enjoy this film. I sure did!
