Moneyball (2011), Bennett Miller
3/5
As some who isn't a fan of baseball this film is still good at capturing your interest. Brad Pitt is fine as always. It's an interesting concept and subject matter. The film is well produced and good quality, however it isn't really an emotional or deep drama. It really is for baseball nerds, although even if you're not, it's still somewhat accessible. The greatest criticism is that because it's based on a book there are some translation issues. In many scenes not a lot is happening except expositional dialogue. I noticed this most with many scenes including Brad Pitt on the phone in the car etc. It may have given the film more roundness to have some emotional depth however, perhaps this meant it stayed true to the book.
