Fantastic, gripping and throughly entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2008)

Originally I didn't want to see this film just based on one mans performance and once I learnt Daniel Day lewis won the Oscar I thought why not? I was gripped from the beginning the tension in the film is unbelievable especially the chemistry between Daniel Day lewis and Paul Dano, whose acting was excellent as well. This was helped I thought by an amazing sound track which helps cast the atmosphere of the movie. The aspects as it is mentioned on any review about greed religion is very well done and the relationship between Daniel and his son, well it is memorable. The Oscar was well deserved and the directing was fantastic. I doubt anyone who will see this movie will be disappointed.
