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.

No.1 Film in my collection

This film has managed the impossible and knocked the God Father Part 2, Once Upon Time in America and Shawshank Redemption off my personal all time top spot.
Day-Lewis is incredible and no disrespect to the previous reviewers but this is a thinking mans/woman's film and has a complex plot which deals with greed, emotions, religion and some fascinating historical recollection, so if that doesn't sound up your street then I hear that 'Death Race' might be more your thing.
What's a great movie? I think it's any movie that manages to make you consider its events after watching it and this film has caused me to have a change of paradigm.
Don't miss it!
Fanatic Cult?

What was this film exactly? no contender for, No Country for Old Men, i was disappointed most at the fact THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN INSTANT CLASSIC! and in it was from the respect of Day-Lewis' performance but plot and character-wise, i was distraught
to think this movie was infact decimated.
There won't be blood

I don't really know where to start with this. Ok first off Daniel Day Lewis is a great actor everyone knows this but this movie is really one of the poorest I've ever seen. Where was the story, the point, the excitement, the twist!!! All absent from this movie I'm afraid :( This film has been hyped up and I wasn't that interested to watch in the first place but when I saw it after the first hour I was falling asleep because it goes nowhere and its just about a greedy man and its boring!!! Please believe me I only write reviews for terrible movies so people can avoid them and not suffer the boredem I did for almost 2 and a half hours!!!! There will be blood, only pouring from your eyes after watching this rubbish!!
