There will be Blood

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2012)

Watching There will be Blood is like going on a Safari and watching the most ferocious and biggest Lion stalking around, roaring. And despite the fact that you know you are safe behind a bullet proof screen, you are still terrified because that Lion is so abominably frightening. Then you see a Lion-tamer and a child walk into the area and smack the beast around for awhile and you think to yourself - the dude and kid are going to die.
Daniel Day-Lewis is the Lion. The Lion-tamer is the preacher. They give absolutely powerful and riveting and engaging performances.
This is what movies should be about.
