Quite possibly the best film I have ever seen...

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2008)

This film is simply stunning! There is not a scene in the entire film that didn't keep me so gripped to the screen that i felt that blinking would mean that i would miss part of this stunning work. My eyes may have hurt after watching this film but that was well compensated for by the masterful direction, stunning cinematography and, dare i say, the best acting in a film that i have ever seen. now on to the predictable part, Daniel Day-Lewis. His performance can not be compared to previous screen greats like Marlon Brando, Robert Deniro and Al Pacino(who is a bloody arrogant bugger!) because in my opinion, it is quite simply better. I have never seen a film where the main protagonist made me so intrigued as to what was going to happen to him next. The other performances were only elevated by this and, although not as stunning as DDL performance, were never over shadowed by it. this is a great credit to the actors and the stunning direction of PT Anderson who has gone about creating one of the great works of modern cinema!
