There is Rookie of the Year, Angels in the Outfield and Major League levels of feel-good inspiration at play, with an added layer of realism and intelligence.

It is, in fact, quite a good movie. I don't think it is entirely subversive to suggest that it might have been a little bit better.

As an example of smarter-than-average Hollywood fare - and a sly dig at modern sporting politics - 'Moneyball' has all the key bases covered.

The real protagonist of Moneyball, however, is Beane himself, played with great charisma by Brad Pitt.

Brad Pitt is at the top of his own game as Beane. Cocky and often nonchalant, he is gnawed by doubts that he tries to cover by grabbing a snack or pitching a grin.

Moneyball is a winner, one of the freshest and smartest sports movies in years.
