Despite opposition from the old guard, the media, fans and their own field manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Beane - with the help of a young, number-crunching, Yale-educated economist (Jonah Hill) - develops a roster of misfits…and along the way, forever changes the way the game is played. desertcart.co.uk Review It's amazing that Moneyball makes baseball statistics seem fascinating--but that's because it's not really a movie about numbers, and it's not really a movie about baseball, either. It's about what drives people to take risks--in this instance, Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt), general manager of the Oakland A's, who's just had his best players poached by teams that can afford to pay a lot more. Fed up with how money twists the game, he listens to Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), who persuades him that certain players are being undervalued for trivial reasons--that statistics reveal hidden strengths that could, when used in the right combinations, produce a winning season. Beane takes Brand's advice, then has to fight everyone else around him to follow it through. Moneyball skillfully takes the audience into Beane's psyche. Pitt is in excellent form; it's an understated but magnetic performance, the kind that rarely wins awards but should. Pitt has the physical presence of a former athlete and vividly expresses the mind of a man who's never achieved success but isn't ready to give up. Director Bennett Miller (Capote) shapes the supporting cast (Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, and others less recognisable but just as solid) as carefully as Beane shapes his team. Miller has a few flashy (and highly effective) moments of sound manipulation and editing, but Moneyball is carried by its superb performances. --Bret Fetzer Review: Great cast. Great story. Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. - Really enjoyable film that kept me engaged the entire time. Brad Pitt never disappoints, and Jonah Hill was superb as were all the supporting actors. I'd recommend you buy rather than rent as you'll definitely watch it more than once. Review: Great fun even if you don't like baseball or statistics - You don't have to be a baseball fan or a spreadsheets lover to enjoy Moneyball. The story of how an under-resourced team found a way to be smarter than their bigger and richer rivals has an appeal that works even if you're not sure what a strike is and aren't moved by the idea of someone pouring over data to find a different way of looking at things. That is a large part of why Moneyball, the movie of Michael Lewsis's book about the Oakland A's baseball team, is such an enjoyable movie. Add in some great acting, a script written by someone (West Wing's Aaron Sorkin) who values words rather than seeing them as placeholders between special effects, great editing of footage and a nicely judged music score and you have a wonderfully enjoyable movie. Even if you don't like baseball. Often the extras on a DVD are of limited value, but in this case - save for the one that give you the chance to watch Brad Pitt sitting laughing for several minutes - the extras add greatly to the film, both in explaining the context and (in the case of the deleted scenes) rounding out the characters nicely. Of course, being the film of a book there is the ultimate extra - the book itself. Don't think of one as a substitute for the other. If you enjoy one, dive into the other too. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005FLANHE | | Actors | Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.85:1 | | Audio Description: | English | | Best Sellers Rank | 15,129 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 186 in Sport (DVD & Blu-ray) 4,940 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,602) | | Director | Bennett Miller | | Dubbed: | French | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), English (Dolby Digital 5.1), French (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Manufacturer reference | 5035822084025 | | Media Format | Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Brad Pitt, Michael DeLuca, Rachael Horovitz | | Product Dimensions | 19 x 13.5 x 1.4 cm; 100 g | | Release date | 19 Mar. 2012 | | Run time | 2 hours and 8 minutes | | Studio | Sony Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles: | Arabic, Dutch, English, French, Hindi | ## Product Details - **Format:** Subtitled - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 8 minutes ## Images ![Moneyball - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ed5G7l+3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cast.

Although there are a few non-baseball associated themes to the storyline, since it has it's foundation in covering baseball aspects I think that this film is unlikely to attract non-baseball 'fans'. Fortunately, even though I live in the UK I DO have an interest in 'Major League Baseball' (the professional wing of the game played nationally in the USA), watch games on TV when possible and usually manage to go and see an MLB game or 2 if visiting somewhere in the USA where it is played.... Notwithstanding that, the film gained critical praise and made a healthy profit at the box-office - 1/3 of which came from overseas takings, so it proved to have universal appeal despite the 'niche' subject matter. I think that the Amazon synopsis for this film gives too much detail, so here's a cut from it to hopefully just outline the plot : "Based on real events in 2002, the film follows the unconventional tactics employed by Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), general manager of the cash-strapped Oakland Athletics baseball team, to rebuild his club after losing a few key players." On Blu-ray everything looks and sounds as good as you would expect of a modern release, but since it is a largely dialogue-based film which occurs mostly in buildings I don't necessarily think that it is essential to watch it in HD. Like cricket, MLB can be an entertaining spectator sport but also quite lengthy/boring and since, even more than cricket, MLB relies heavily during play and especially in the frequent breaks in a game (of which there are masses) to present/analyse pertinent statistics. Whilst this film does have the matter of player-performance statistics at it's core, and how they were utilised more fully to try and form a more successful MLB team, thankfully there is more going on than just that and certainly the ridiculous 'depth' to which media MLB statistics can go is not replicated ! I like to think of this film as more of a character-study for someone heavily involved in the management side of MLB, rather than what their aim was and/or the details of how they went about it. To support that assertion, whilst the cast does feature significant parts for the acting talents of Jonah Hill (the statistics 'nerd' employed by Beane) and Philip Seymour Hoffman (the team manager), and despite Hill also having received (for me, inexplicably) a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination, it is clear to me that the overwhelming amount of screen time is given to the Pitt character - hence his Best Actor Oscar nomination is far more understandable. Hill does feature, but not a lot, and Seymour Hoffman features even less ! We also see a lot of aspects of Beane's personal life, whereas we learn absolutely nothing of a similar nature for the Hill or Seymour Hoffman characters - absolutely nothing.... Having said that, I am not especially a big fan of Pitt the actor and whilst he does turn in an effective performance here, I never felt I was ever watching anything other than Brad Pitt acting in a film - for me, it is the story that 'lives' and it is the story that is the memorable feature of this film. So, the well-structured nature of the screenplay and how effectively the film story unfolds are crucial elements here and ultimately dictate how successful, for me, it turned out to be; despite a running-time in excess of 2hrs, I never felt bored or that things were 'strung out' excessively. What we have is a surprisingly amusing portrayal of how somebody quite ruthlessly followed a new, risky 'model' to re-launch a professional sports team - often to the detriment of his personal life, colleagues and employees; gaining notoriety, new players and success on one side of the balance but losing players, some respect and lots of heartbeats on the other ! Like some other films I've reviewed recently, I was now again going to mention that the production-values are good considering the small budget of the film, BUT then I saw that it cost some $50million - a bewildering figure when, for example, it is compared to the $47million budget (noted as it was discovered when writing a recent Amazon review for it) of the expansive 'Arrival', made just last year ! Quite where the money went here I cannot say, as whilst the cast is quite large nothing else really sticks out as above the norm; it is a well-made, well-produced drama with convincing sets (if sets they are, a lot looks like the real sporting location), but with few (normally costly ?) special-effects or exotic locations - maybe the 'talent' salaries, irrespective of their onscreen time, gobbled-up the budget ? ! On Blu-ray everything looks and sounds as good as you would expect of a modern release, but since it is a largely dialogue-based film which occurs mostly in buildings I don't necessarily think that it is essential to watch it in HD and, similarly, the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack is largely wasted for this type of production. The disc extras are dominated by a large selection of featurettes with a total running time well in excess of 1hr - not watched yet, but their titles suggest that they might not be too heavily reliant on being of the rather unfulfilling 'promotional' variety..... Whilst this film has a quite specific plot theme unlikely to appeal to a mass audience, there is scope for it being a decent watch for many irrespective of the sporting theme (and specifically about MLB) as it largely concentrates on the 'human' side to it, rather than the sporting action itself. It is well made, proficiently performed and looks good on Blu-ray - but probably would be fine on DVD as well, since there is so much dialogue as opposed to special-effects etc. I DO like MLB, which explains my initial attraction to it and why I had even more of an affinity to the story - nonetheless, whilst I did enjoy it as a sporting film, I enjoyed it more as a drama. ## Frequently Bought Together - Moneyball [DVD] [2011] - The Big Short [DVD] [2017] - Margin Call [DVD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/59769151-moneyball](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/59769151-moneyball) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
