Is blood thicker than oil?

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2008)

A movie of epic proportion and ambition. Daniel Day-Lewis with an Academy Award worthy performance. THERE WILL BE BLOOD is a portrait of the human stain with hope, belief, greed, corruption and all that comes with living and thereof with oil. Daniel Plainview's(Day-Lewis)story goes from a down-on-luck silver miner raising a baby son, H.W.(Dillon Freasier),to a self-made oil tycoon languished in alcohol and self-exile. Daniel makes his son his partner while turning a small patch of dirt into a small rambling oil town. Along the way, Daniel will not exactly make a deal with the devil, but with a charismatic young preacher Eli Sunday(Paul Dano). That deal will prove haunting for decades and end bloody. A lucky strike, massive fortunes, ill health, and big oil companies will leave their mark on both Plainview's. The father and son bond will be tattered...victim of ambition, human value, deception and all that comes with the discovery and profits of the black gold called oil. Also in the cast: Kevin J. O'Conner, Ciaran Hinds, David Warshotsky, Paul F. Tompkins and David Willis. THERE WILL BE BLOOD is not to be missed.
