Daniel Day-Lewis stuns in Paul Thomas Anderson's saga of a soul-dead oil man.

Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2014)

It is one of the most wholly American movies, and a very well made business movie. what the movie portrays is that in the business world "if your not growing you are not going anywhere" Daniel Plainview knows it and would reach to the top at any cost.
Daniel stumbles upon oil in rural California and peruses it with focus, ferocity and ethical sensitivity.Every convulsion, every twitch, every flash that raves in his dangerous eyes and every tooth bared by his dangerous smile, tells who he is. His walks, the hunch of his shoulders, the staggering wildness of his bursts of violence are all tiles in the mixture that makes this performance Oscar winning.
