Movie #512 "Moneyball" is a good, sound autobiographical film that shows the ins and outs of the administrative level in baseball, which we rarely get to see. This is another Aaron Sorkin-scripted film, but not as good as social network or any of his west wing work. It lacks the humor that his scripts usually have ---the well-rounded characters who usually speak his rapid-fire dialogue, and the wittiness of the storyline ---- what's here is good, just not as good as he's done in the past. I don't whole-heartedly agree with the critics on this one --- I don't think it's as good as they are saying , and I don't think Brad Pitt is that good either --- There are problems with his character in that we aren't always sure why he does the things he does (like throw garbage cans in the locker room) --- his facials don't help, and contrary to what critics are saying, this is NOT his best effort, but supporting people do a nice job --- Jonah could do more than look stone-faced. With both leads playing one note, and a lot of baseball stats, the movie could be more intense, in my opinion. and I LOVE baseball!
I rated this 4 out of 5 stars
