On Rotten Tomatoes, Draft Day has an audience score of 65%, and a 'Tomatometer' score of 60%.

There are tons of great movies about sports: Rocky, Raging Bull, Friday Night Lights, Field of Dreams, but many would argue that Moneyball is the most comprehensive breakdown of how a club operates and how big money transfers are carried out.

Moneyball sees Brad Pitt star as real-life Oakland Athletic baseball team manager Billy Beane, who when faced with limited budget and resources, went full-stato and used data and metrics to make his player selections, as opposed to the gut instinct previously used by basically every manager in every sport.

was based on the non-fiction book by Michael Lewis (who also wrote The Big Short), and it weaves Beane’s story into a gripping thriller, bringing the seemingly dull baseball stats to life. Brad Pitt is supported by a cast that includes Jonah Hill, showing off his dramatic side in one of his first non-comedic roles, and the late, great Phillip Seymour Hoffman. The script was also co-written by Aaron Sorkin, of The West Wing and The Social Network fame.

Draft Day has a running time of 110 minutes.
