Terrifying battle between greed and sadism versus the church

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2008)

A magnificent movie and the single best male acting performance I've ever seen in 60 years of movie attendance. Mr. Lewis's ability is unparalleled. A gut wrenching film contrasting the battle between good and evil with the oil business used as the backdrop. Riveting and flawless dialogue. Outstanding cinematography. Unbelievably remarkable screen adaptation of Upton Sinclair's novel "Oil." We have a film with no sex, no gutter language yet so captivating, stunning and gripping in every sense that modern day usage of "eye and ear candies" are totally unncessary. The film is one of the classic cinematic masterpieces of all time and Daniel Day Lewis exceeded his own greatness in achieving the 2007 Best Actor Oscar.
