The black gold takes tolls on everyone

Rating: 7/10 (3 August 2014)

A strong story indeed this movie has. And it's also developed nicely. Focused about the oil business, the movie depicts just what a sly businessman would do to get his way. Yet in getting his way, and even after getting it, Daniel's dominant character of anger and easily offended get the best out of him all the time. This is not excluding persons dearest and closest to him. Unfortunately the 'all is fair' attitude is also shown by people he comes in contact with, including the townspeople stuck in blind faith and also especially the town's false prophet. I like Daniel Day Lewis's performance. He can really create a great distinction between all his roles. This shows that he is quite a master in the art of getting into character. Seeing Paul Dano giving the right balancing performance is also a great here. It's an entertainment good enough for men for a 7 out 10 score.
