Absolutely Horrible

Rating: 3/10 (5 February 2008)

And all three stars are for the Greenwood soundtrack, which is the best part of this movie. I've seen all five Academy Award nominated films for 2007, and this one is by far the worst. Daniel Day Lewis is a great actor, and he can't save this boring script, which meanders aimlessly through the years of his characters life without really digging deep into it, or any other characters for that matter. It also seems like every P.T Andersen movie since Boogie Nights (brilliant I might add) gets progressively worse, and with "blood" he's really hit bottom. I really wanted to like this movie, and was ready to give up several times, but stuck it out. I would rather have watched Juno or Michael Clayton again. And I can think of a couple of movies which should have been nominated for Best Picture over this one. Save your money, and more importantly, your time.
