Moneyball

As a fan of sports films, this movie was a must-see for me, and I can't say I was disappointed. This movie is the 'Social Network' of sports films. Well directed, really well acted, and overall well made, this film was successful because it didn't conform to the usual sports movie formula. There was no montage of building up the team and training. There was no inspiring pep-talk before the last game of the season. It was just, this is what happened and here's how and why it happened this way. In fact, this movie was so intriguing because it didn't focus so much on baseball as it did the strategy of fielding a team. Fantastic film, 8.5/10.
