It's got the drama of winning and losing and there's a "your job is on the line" kind of risk-taking that keeps it thrilling. But for some reason it feels different than other sports movies. It never tries too hard and settles into the story nicely, making for a very enjoyable movie with a sense of faith, trust, teamwork, loyalty and desire at its core to go along with an excellent lead performance by Brad Pitt.]]> http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/moneyball-review-brad-pitt/feed/ 2 http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/brad-pitt-the-head-stays-box/
