Horrific movie... but...

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2008)

Horrific movie. VERY hard to watch. I almost walked out three times during the film. The film is boring. It has basically no story line. I could sum up the entire movie in a three minute conversation and not miss anything. However, with that being said - the film is a masterpiece. Daniel Day-Lewis was... how can I put this... well I think he might be the greatest actor that ever lived. As much as I would like to see Johnny Depp take home an Oscar I think that he will have tough competition in Daniel Day-Lewis. Paul Dano who I've seen in a few movies and thought he was pretty good did an AMAZING job in this film. I would have liked to have seen his name on the Oscar nomination ballot for supporting actor for this one. The directing and the acting was absolutely superb and flawless. The movie was amazing but there is NO WAY I will ever watch this movie again - I suffered enough the first time!
