There IS blood - right now!

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2008)

Right, I'm joining in the chorus of those who are enthusiastic about this movie. It has everything a good story needs - stunning photography, appropriately nervous music, and of course a fantastic performance by Mr. Day-Lewis, almost matched by that of Paul Dano. There are some parallels to "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" of course.
Could not the "blood" in the title refer to today's conflicts over oil and other energy resources? I actually expected to see a lot more blood in TWBB, yet there were two murders. A taste of things to come.
To those who find this film "boring", can you not relate to the universal themes of love, hate, greed and power, religion vs. money? An important period of American history unfolds before your eyes.
