Loved this Film mainly due to Daniel Day Lewis!

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2016)

Just watched this on Channel 4 and was immediately drawn into the movie from the outset. It is not often that a film is so well produced and lit, that leaves such a memorable leading character and cast that it warrants comment and commendation. Not a great fan of Daniel Day Lewis but then again he has only ever been witnessed in my left foot that did not leave an impression. It can now be seen why he has won Oscars for performances. A seamless flow of talent from an actor that does not for one second appear to be acting!
It is a relief to come across films like this that separate them from the masses of other also ran movies produced to remind us of how difficult it is to get the mood, lighting, direction and the right actors casted to produce something special. This film hit the spot that other production companies can only measure themselves against.
Now a big fan of Daniel Day Lewis and the film director. (Also appreciated the sound track in parts that disorientated and added to the chaos of fire scenes)
