Moneyball Review

Despite my initial expectations for Moneyball, it, in the end, emerges as a triumphant and engaging film. This film has been getting Oscar buzz for the last couple of months because it is Aaron Sorkin’s first work on a screenplay since The Social Network (which won him an Academy Award) along with Steven Zailian, who wrote Schindler’s List and Gangs of New York. Moneyball is based off the Michael Lewis book- last time a Michael Lewis book was adapted The Blind Side was created, and received a Best Picture nomination as well as a Best Actress win for Sandra Bullock.
