A gritty performance from some of the best actors out there

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2016)

There Will Be Blood is not a simple biopic about a man who got himself driven by greed and power. It's a story about how religion can turn people blind to common sense as much as money and power do. In fact, in this case, you can't really say who's the wort human being... Is it Daniel Plainview, who grew from a get-nothing-to-loose prospector to an oil magnate who hates everybody including his own son (well, who is not exactly his son but still...) and end up alone in his huge and cold mansion, or Eli Sunday, self-appointed priest, who uses religion to his own benefit? The movie is great in showing the duality between the two men and the closing scene is probably on of the best for a movie, ever. How Daniel is crushing Eli, morally and physically is the only way to end this masterpiece. Don't get rebutted by the lengthy start, you won't forget this one...
