Love this!

'Moneyball' is sensational! I enjoyed every second of the 134 minute run time. Great acting, brilliantly shot, notably scored, nicely paced - all of that and more.

Even at the beginning of the film, where it's basically just the (you'd assume dull) board meetings/negotiations, I was already gripped. Everything then builds to the action, which eventually arrives to give things a new lease of life. Never a boring moment, at least for me.

The sporting side is ideally told, despite the sizeable use of real life footage as opposed to newly captured content - which was a smart call, by the way. All the while connecting the characters and making us care for them.

Brad Pitt plays lead as Billy Beane, fantastically I must add. He gives the perfect performance, absolutely nothing to negatively note about it - except the cup spitting, though that's a film thing rather than him.

Jonah Hill is also impressive here, as he's suited to composite character Peter Brand well. The support cast are ace too, namely Philip Seymour Hoffman (Art Howe).

It's all riveting stuff. I am a sports fan, though not of baseball and yet the film inspires enough that it even made me semi-interested in following the game for real.

I was expecting this to produce the goods, just not to such a high degree. I couldn't recommend this more!
