It's amazing that Moneyball makes baseball statistics seem fascinating--but that's because it isn't really a real movie about numbers, and it's not a legitimate movie about baseball, either. It's in what drives people to consider risks--in this instance, Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt), general manager of the Oakland A's, who's just had his best players poached by teams that can manage to pay a great deal more. Fed up with how money twists the game, he listens to Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), who persuades him that certain players are now being undervalued for trivial reasons--that statistics reveal hidden strengths that could, when used within the right combinations, create a winning season. Beane takes Brand's advice, then has to battle everybody else around him to follow it through. Moneyball skillfully takes the audience into Beane's psyche. Pitt is at excellent form; it's an understated but magnetic performance, the kind that rarely wins awards but should. Pitt has got the physical presence of a former athlete and vividly expresses your brain of your man who's never achieved success but isn't ready to provide up. Director Bennett Miller (Capote) shapes the supporting cast (Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, yet others less recognizable but equally as solid) as carefully as Beane shapes his team. Miller has a few flashy (and highly effective) moments of sound manipulation and editing, but Moneyball is carried by its superb performances. --Bret Fetzer

Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) challenges the system and defies conventional wisdom when his is forced to rebuild his small-market team over a limited budget. Despite opposition through the old guard, the media, fans as well as their own field manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Beane - with all the help of your young, number-crunching, Yale-educated economist (Jonah Hill) - develops a roster of misfits…and over the way, forever changes just how the action is played.
