Moneyball.

The way to buy and improve a baseball team for a cheap price. Brad Pitt is the mastermind behind it all, his idea, his contacts and a few friends to locate the best uncovered talents at a cheap price.

Moneyball is a hard one to judge. Most of the film is spent in a room with a board of people discussing the possibilities of improving the baseball team. One of the simplest roles for Brad Pitt- just a guy that has to keep his cool and act like a business man. It can't be that hard right? Nothing spectacular about his performance but we have to remember that he is the conductor, the orchestrator of everything that happens in this movie.

Jonah Hill and Chris Pratt join him in his quest to make the team that wins twenty league games in a row, thus setting a new record and becoming something of a mastermind coup. Jonah Hill is a lot better in this film than he ever was in 21 Jump Street or 22 Jump Street. Those films were too much for him, the first one was fine but the second it was clear to see that he was way past it. In this film, with a suit and a computer he is a lot more effective and a lot more convincing. This is a better role for him and he played it with a lot more conviction than previous roles in previous films.

Chris Pratt was different, less arrogant and convinced me that he could actually act! I have never seen this level of performance from Chris Pratt before. This performance was award worthy just because it was different from his normal same old self.
