Moneyball is a sports film based around Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt) attempt to assemble a baseball team on a strict budget by employing innovative methods to acquire new players. Now, after that handful of an intro, Moneyball is squarely rooted in the ‘Sport’ genre of film which almost anyone knows how it goes from start to finish. The up-and-coming underdogs need to fight with tooth and nail to achieve something that no-one believes they could. A tried-and-true story format that has worked and will work, since everyone likes a good comeback story once in a while.
It showed prowess through the ensemble of actors and the absolute heights that they reached. Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and THE Philip Seymour Hoffman all carry this film, and in the long run, they are the sole reason to give this film a chance.
It is a slow and grounded film, it knows what it is and it ultimately stays in its own corner, without those big and grandiose moments some may require. A solidly acted film with the perfect pace and tone as to bring out the better parts and leave those repetitious parts accompanied by the ‘Sport’ genre at the door.
