A brutal, bloody, and gripping saga of obsession, corruption, and poisonous greed; Paul Thomas Anderson's Award Winning There Will Be Blood is a masterly, unwavering inspection of a consummately evil man whose trailblazing spirit is equalled only by his murderous ambition.
In the dying years of the nineteenth century Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), a struggling silver miner, realises that true wealth lies in oil extraction. Driven by a passionate hatred for others and an intense psychological need to see competitors fail, he heads for the oil-rich land of California in a bid to manipulate and exploit the landowners of dust-worn Little Boston in to selling him their properties. Forefront of the town is self-styled `faith healer' Eli Sunday (Paul Dano) who is structuring his own sinister plan to funnel the residents' impending wealth into his self-founded church. As Plainview's empire expands, so does his obsession with the intrinsic value of power and he becomes increasingly irascible and paranoid along the way. What follows is a vindictive, ruthless, and violent chain of events as Plainview fails to deliver on promises as he pits himself against the town's perturbed and unstable charismatic teenage preacher.
In addition to stunning visuals and an exceptional, captivating score from accomplished composer (and Radiohead guitarist) Jonny Greenwood, director Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia) owes his best work to date to the incredible Academy Award winning performance as Plainview by Daniel Day-Lewis and the staggering portrayal of Eli Sunday by Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine). Bearing similarities to Citizen Kane and Giant, There Will Be Blood is an intelligent, thought-provoking, and powerfully-eccentric epic masterpiece that is as enchanting as it is timeless.

This is without a doubt one of the best movies ever made, Day-Lewis is a fantastic actor and this possible his best performance. Ignore people talking about it being slow and boring it is nothing but excellent. One of the most exciting movies of the past 5 years, really great stuff buy it now.

I am unsure as to why this film has been critically acclaimed there is no intriguing plot to draw in the veiwer ,and the story is not the most interseting of topics, focusing on one mans greed whilst seeking to manipulate simple country people in his quest for power. It is a tough watch, especially at a steep run time passing onwards of two and a half hours.. Do you not have something better to do with your life in this time??
Powerful

Dark movie with little to uplift but a compelling performance by Day-Lewis who absolutely dominates. Worth seeing to witness DDL's masterful and almost obsessive dedication to method acting. He completely engrosses the viewer. He is menacing, manuipulative, and at times completely scary. One can sense the underlying rage that is present just beneath the surface, of his character, which emerges at times to terrifying effect. I cannot say it is a good movie because "good" is the wrong adjective but it will hold your attention, and leave you feeling a little uneasy. One of the movies you must see before you die!
