MONEYBALL (Theatrical Release USA 2011)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

Moneyball  has that 'real' feeling that makes a good movie even better.  While Brad Pitt may not be the best casting choice for this film, he makes it work. This film is a good choice for sports fans who enjoy sport history and changes that occur behind the scenes to make games even more competitive.
