Review: "Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill create one of the best on-screen chemistry between two actors this year in Bennett Miller's fabulous sophomore effort Moneyball. Delving into and bringing a fresh take on a sports film, Miller along with writers Steven Zaillian, Aaron Sorkin, and Stan Chervin achieve a well balanced story full of laughs, drama, and heart. Pitt brings one of his best interpretations of a character to life hosing in on the insecurities while bleeding out the confidence and sure-fire wit. Hill delivers his best performance of his career and one of the most surprisingly brilliant turns this year. He even manages to steal scenes from co-star Philip Seymour Hoffman, who is just as good as ever, and have the viewer hone in on his wonderful acting portrayal. Miller's direction should be applauded and recognized as going just as ferociously and heavyhearted into this film as he did with his directorial debut, Capote. This is the best baseball film to hit the screens since Field of Dreams."
