Moneyball

Moneyball was a captivating and exciting film, and I am glad I watched it. What I liked the best with it was the script which was both clever and funny and made the film worth watching. The unbelievable but true story is also one of the biggest pros of the film. The story is about the manager Billy Beane, the baseball team Oakland athletics that need to replace several of their biggest stars, but the team’s economy suffers. Billy meets an analyst played by Jonah Hill, which finds undervalued players. They reshape the team and go through lots of ups and downs (most downs).  

The acting is great and Brad Pitt is great in his role as the ambitious and eccentric manager. Jonah Hill’s character on the other hand is very shy and doesn’t really say that much, but he also delivers a fantastic role. They both have been nominated for several awards. 

I consider myself a movie lover and I watch several movies a week, and I can frankly say that this is one of the best I have seen in the last weeks. There is not much bad to say about it, even though the film is quite long you just want it to keep going on. 

The dialogue and cinematography along with the stunning performances and an incredible sound editing is some of the factors that make this film based on a fantastic story so brilliant. I will recommend it for anyone that wants to watch something different than all the huge blockbuster films out there.
