There Will Be Blood (2007)


There Will Be Blood is a film that I had heard good things about and I must get it out of the way by saying that I don’t share that sentiment. It’s a film that has some good things going for it however those things don’t save the film for me.  I thought the idea was quite well done and also thought ath Daniel Day Lewis was superb as was Paul Dano who played Eli Sunday who at times was a mesmerising character. I found myself enjoying the film when these two were on screen but found the general flow of the film to lack something which it needed to compliment the performances.

It was only because of Dano and Day-Lewis that kept me from turning the DVD off so I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed with this film.
