Director : Bennett Miller
Running Time : 134 mins
Billy Beane (Pitt), ex-professional baseball player and manager of the Oakland A’s, employs the assistance of economics graduate Peter Brand (Hill) to use a computerised statistics analysis programme to discover which under-valued players would hold the best chances of garnering them a win.
Both Pitt and Hill are brilliant in this movie about the underdog doing good and winning for once. If you enjoy sports movies, then this is definitely for you, but even if you don’t watch baseball – or any sport for that matter - this is still a great movie that dumbs down the idea of using statistics to calculate wins and makes it accessible to the layman. This is probably Pitt’s best performance since Twelve Monkeys.
