Movie review "Moneyball"

Movie: Moneyball (2011) Biography, Drama, Sport



Studio:  Columbia Studios

Rating: PG-13

Cast: Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Director:  Bennett Miller

DVD: Redbox rental

Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1

Video: 16x9 widescreen anamorphic 480p

Brad Pitt plays Billy Beane, the Oakland A's general manager as he tries to compete in the very competitive 2002 major league baseball season with the lowest payroll in baseball.  This true life story is a great biography of Billy Beane and his quest to bring a world series to Oakland.  True life stories are my favorite kind of movies because they tell stories that most people never hear about any other way.  This movie does not disappoint.  Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are all great in this movie.  If you like baseball  and a good underdog story, you will love this movie.

My rating: 4 out of 5

Redbox rating: 4 out of 5
