Moneyball might be famously known as a Brad Pitt movie but that doesn’t take away the impressive work portrayed by Chris Pratt as the character of Scott Hatteberg. The plot is based on the game of baseball with the majority of the part focusing on what goes behind the scenes. Pitt’s character of Billy Beane struggles to earn a name for himself in the sport after failing as a player.

The movie is a masterpiece in terms of smart scriptwriting and equally intense execution. Like all other Chris Pratt movies, this might not have him the lead but it is worth mentioning here.
