The most astonishing film of the last decade.

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2009)

There Will Be Blood. Four lethal words. In this title lies the essence of the film: greed, vengeance, and madness. Paul Thomas Anderson has completely revolutionized cinema in the 21st century. Anderson's film is in a league of its own. The story slowly forces us into the darkest reaches of the human mind. A feeling that has only been achieved to this intensity by The Shining. Daniel Day-Lewis delivers one of the most incredible performances in film history. His portrayal of Daniel Plainview is as deep as an actor can submerge himself into the subconscious of a character. The supporting actors are all real to life and truly mirror aspects of Plainveiw's personality that haunt us long after the film ends. Johnny Greenwood's score builds an uncompromising feeling of dread. There Will Be Blood will poison your insides and leave you mesmerized.
