Debating whether sport is a science or an art (when it's clearly a bit of both), this film effectively asks us to side with (and root for) the bean-counters, rather than the sport lovers. As someone who couldn't care less either way, I was happy to play along. It's certainly interesting to see mathematical theory playing out in the real world, even if Philip Seymour Hoffman initially throws some human error in there to sabotage the results. The film zips along nicely, and the leads do a decent, if overly-familiar job with their roles. I'm not quite understanding the Oscar buzz, but it's certainly an entertaining watch.
