Review of Moneyball (2011) by Tvjerry — 24 Sep 2011
Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane, General Manager for the Oakland A's, who was the first to adopt statistical analysis in assembling a baseball team. Against everybody's suggestion he persists on this path and you can guess the results (or you may know, since this is based on fact).
This is pretty much Pitt's movie: He produced it and is in almost every scene. He's engaging enough, but it's Jonah Hill's subdued comic partnership that adds some warmth. Otherwise, it's a non-stop, one-note drive for a man to achieve his vision.
While there are a few sports scenes, most of this features people sitting around talking. While it's interesting to watch the narrative unfold, it's never moving or exciting, just flatly informational.
