There Will Be Blood (2007) :
Brief Review -
Daniel Day Lewis is the only preservation for this slow paced madness and secretive ride. There are people who completely hated this film and there are people who loved it totally, that's scarce. We don't see such films often which are either fully hater or totally loved but There Will Be Blood could be an exception because of the destructive yet mesmerising content it has. The film is about a silver prospector and his variational life focusing on his madness, greed, sins and religious hatred or belief (whatever you prefer after watching the film). There is not much wrong in the overall script but still the film is hated because it is slow paced and doesn't provide much screen space to the main content. On the other side, in a very short period of precisely 12 to 15 minutes in the climax it takes the film on high level and many people loved that part. I am somewhere in the middle now as i liked the way it ended and justified the overall context but i hated slow pacing too. Daniel Day Lewis is without any doubt the best thing happened to There Will Be Blood. Second and Third best things are Cinematography and Direction respectively. May be it could have been trimmed better especially in the first half which took too much time just to introduce and link all the characters of the film. Lot of mistakes were solved and covered in the second half and then Top Notch climax finished the job for the film. This is certainly a watchable film even in most negative talk because who knows one might find it subtle and profound which others couldn't find. You have power-packed performance of Daniel Day Lewis as a preservative already, so give it a watch to decide which side you are on. This is more a critic friendly film than being audience friendly hence you need to make a choice before giving it a chance. You can't expect an entertaining and light film so better be aware.
RATING - 7/10*
