Review of Moneyball (2011) by Cincinnatidave — 04 Oct 2011

Enjoyable and well made, but too long. I'm not sure why slow, boring, and expansive pauses have become the norm with today's filmmakers, but they are prevalent throughout the movie. I just kept wanting to snap my fingers repeatedly to tell them to "pick up the pace!" I didn't want action or thrills, but I was hoping to avoid boredom.

In many ways, this film was similar to watching a pitchers duel. It was interesting and at times exciting, but you ultimately start to drift and lose interest by the end of the 5th inning. Decent performance by a strong cast, especially Pitt and Hoffman.
