Summary: Some very strong performances in one of the best films of 2008
Comment: `There Will Be Blood' is the award winning movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Daniel Plainview, who
transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil
tycoon. When Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that there's a little town out West where an ocean
of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads with his son, H.W., to take their chances in dust-worn
Little Boston. In this small town, where the main excitement centres around the church of
charismatic preacher Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), Plainview and H.W. make their lucky strike. But even as
the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every
human value - love, hope, community, belief, ambition and even the bond between father and son - is
tainted by corruption, deception and the flow of oil.

With the amount of hype around
this film, I had high hopes for this film and what I didn't expect was to be completely engrossed in
the story, the characters and some of the best acting that I have ever seen. From the opening scene
I just knew that this was going to be great. A lot of people complain that it was too long and that
there wasn't enough action in it, making it boring but I found that it was just so well made and
well performed and I appreciated it for its excellent character-driven storyline that it was and
came to the conclusion that this movie well deserved it's awards it was given. Daniel Day-Lewis is
known for being very selective in his roles and stays in character whilst the movies are being
filmed, and it goes to show in this film as is an truly incredible performance. Another notable
performance is from co-star Paul Dano who plays the preacher Eli Sunday (and also briefly plays
Eli's brother Paul after the actor pulled out) who also gives a very powerful performance. />
There's not a great deal to say about the story as it is fairly straightforward in that it
is a portrayal of the success and downfall of oil miner Daniel Plainview, so when I explain to
friends what this is about I always get a face from them where I can tell that they are
sarcastically thinking "great"" so I'd recommend just sitting down and watching this and the less
you know about it, the better.

The Blu Ray quality is as great as usual. Fantastic
sound quality although at some points in the film (especially near the beginning) the picture
quality suffers from a little graininess that takes some of the crystal sharp picture away. />
Overall this is one of the best films I've seen this year and is one I highly recommend to
anyone who really appreciates good acting, a good story and excellent characters.
