Moneyball

Director Bennett Miller returns after a six year absence with another terrific film. The true story of Billy Beane, the general manager of Oakland's A's who changed the business of baseball after successfully using computer generated analysis to draft players. Miller and his ace writers Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin successfully crack the book by Michael Lewis by focusing on Beane. Brad Pitt stars and shines as Beane with another terrific character study. Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright provide solid support amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of current releases.
