I loved it. My husband didn't.

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2008)

I found it interesting from beginning to end. Usually in this long of a movie I start wondering when it is going to end. I didn't do that. The acting was superb! And not just Daniel Day-Lewis. All of the actors were awesome.
Usually my husband and I agree on most movies. When we walked out he said "Well, that was 2 1/2 hours wasted of my life." He agreed about the acting and direction. He just thought it was boring.
It is slow. It is not an uplifting movie. There are no car chase scenes or a thousand bullets flying. But, slow is OK. I found it very entertaining. The story line was interesting as well as that time period and in regards to the oil strikes and that industry. Great movie.
