Moneyball - Sort of The 'Dirty Dozen' in baseball  

Brad Pitt plays a buyer of players for an American baseball team. Only he hasn't got much money and employs a revolutionary approach to team selection. Instead of picking the most expensive players, he goes for the cheap ones with `history.' And when I say history, I mean `problems in their personal lives.'

Will they come good and go all the way? Or will they implode on themselves and crash down like a house of cards? Apparently this is based on a true story, so you may already know. If you don't, watch the film and find out!

It makes a change to see Brad in a slightly less glamorous or high profile role, but he does the job (anyone who's seen Kalifornia or Snatch knows there's more to his acting abilities than just his (annoyingly good) looks.

It's not fast-paced, but if you're looking for a sports drama and can stand watching a film without a single car chase or undead uprising, you may get something out of this.

A pleasing 6/10 for non sports fans like myself, 8/10 or higher for likers of the games.
