Top of its game

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2012)

Im not the biggest baseball fan, but Moneyball is a movie that transcends the normal player centric, underdog takes the win- sports movie. It follows more the path set by the 2009 movie "Invictus". Coupled with a stellar performance from the lead Brad Pitt ( Jonah Hill does a great job as well) and a well written script Moneyball takes the viewer through a thoroughly enjoyable journey through the behind-the-scenes of major league baseball.
This movie is all about the emotions, the clashes between the innovators and the conventional thinkers, and of the love for the game. Now this might sound all too boring but it isn't. Its presented in a way that captures the heart, with audio bits of commentary coming in at times giving it the feel of a documentary. There are no dramatic one-liners or flamboyant takes for mere effect, the movie flows in a way that shows the viewer exactly how things would have happened.
Overall in my opinion Moneyball is an excellent movie and will be definitely worth your money...
