D.D.Lewis and "Blood" really have no clothes!!

Rating: 1/10 (20 January 2008)

Saw this film last evening, and I truly believe the viewers who rated this film a 9 or 10 are lemmings who believed the reviewers' hype. My wife and I kept waiting for the the film to start moving, but after a while we couldn't wait for it to end. I have seen Daniel Day Lewis in MANY better films, though his performance in this was good. Paul Dano was awful and "High Schoolish" even after supposedly 25 + years had passed.
The film was painfully slow and visually dark. Sinclair Lewis must be whirling in his grave...especially if publishers decide to change new editions of "Oil" to the title of this abominable pretentious "classic.".
The screen play is poor, and the whole premise is simple and simple minded. Sorry if I don't agree with the multitudes...
