not to be missed

Rating: 7/10 (15 September 2008)

Runtime is about 160 minutes, so "There Will Be Blood" won't probably be a movie for everyone but it's really a greatly depicted story about oil, of course, faith, deception, greed, madness and cynicism. Daniel Day Lewis has delivered a truly amazing performance, but everything seems in place, starting from vivid visuals, suitable locations and a fitting background. The lead is a man teetering on the edge of insanity and the story seems at a point a study about insanity but it's much more.Nothing is lacking in the film, even in moments when words are very very few I never got bored. The director has succeeded in making an almost three hour long film moving, fluent and flowing. Definitely a must see flick.
