Title: Doomed from the Outset
Review: Moneyball, the book, was about the application of statistics to baseball management. The subject connects with gamblers, would be gamblers, sports fans in general, and (I suppose) econometricians. It was great if you like that kind of stuff, but there's really nothing in that volume you can put on a screen. Nothing.From beginning to end, the movie searches for sources of dramatic tension. Few of them are in the book; all of them fall short. It tries to buttress the threadbare and desultory plot line with character development that is... threadbare and desultory. I don't know what they paid for the rights, but 80% of what they got was the title and its associated good will.In the end it wasn't terrible. It just wasn't good.
