A sprawling epic of family, faith, power and oil, THERE WILL BE BLOOD is set on the incendiary frontier of California’s turn-of-the-century petroleum boom. The story chronicles the life and times of one Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), 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. (Dillon Freasier), to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centers around the holy roller 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 imperiled by corruption, deception and the flow of oil.
Ruthless silver miner, turned oil prospector, Daniel Plainview, moves to oil-rich California. Using his son to project a trustworthy, family-man image, Plainview cons local landowners into selling him their valuable properties for a pittance. However, local preacher Eli Sunday suspects Plainview's motives and intentions, starting a slow-burning feud that threatens both their lives.

POWERFUL FILM ABOUT GREEDDaniel Day-Lewis delivers another great performance. This time he plays a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. At times it is scary to see a man so consumed by money and power that you must pause and reflect. A great movie and a great watch..Score: 5/5
OH MY GOODIt's 2012, Daniel Day-Lewis' new movie by Spielberg is about to be released. I have never seen Day-Lewis perform. I wanted to see at least one of his films before the Lincoln film comes out. This has to be one of the most original plots I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. We watch as Daniel starts as a silver miner at the turn of the 20th century and becomes an 'oil man.' His performance is riveting. A vast understatement. I had read that he had spent times between takes sharpening knives, and lived in a tent for a week so as to be in the same condition his character. He becomes lost in this character. Or to put it better, he does what an actor is supposed to do, he becomes this character. I forgot that he was a movie star. Not to go unnoticed are the performances by the actor playing his son, Dillon Freasier, an amazingly gifted performer for one so young, and Daniel's nemesis, Eli, played by Paul Dano. If you like romanticism, happy endings and all that sort of thing, this movie's not for you. If you like gritty realism, greed, corruption, and a tad of violence, this one's for you. I thoroughly enjoyed and laughed during Eli's final comeuppance by Daniel at the end of the film. Which isn't to say that anything ended well for Daniel either. But that little speech was extremely funny. Four years later, this film still feels fresh and stands the test of time..Score: 5/5
A great, great film!Daniel Day-Louis is absolutely the best actor of our day and he shines in this film. You can not miss this film. Astounding performances. Astounding directing, writing, all... You can watch film several times and turn your head every single time because, it's all so real you cant bare to see it. That's the best part of this film. How utterly real every scene is. Painfully real. I've always been a fan of Daniel Day-Louis but this film and Gangs of New York made me "fanatical" for his skill as an actor. Wow is all I can say... Ok, Im gonna go watch it again....Score: 5/5

This movie will stay with you forever!!This movie is amazing, horrifying, sickening and brilliant, all at the same time.

4 1/2 stars.This is a great film. I didn't have high expectations for this film, although it was well received it seemed a bit odd for my liking(and it was odd) but I loved every minute of it! The movie looks absolutely stunning, and the performances from DDL and Paul Dano are dark and deeply moving. The direction from Paul Thomas Anderson is spot on and he is able to convey this complex story with ease. I did have a slight problem with the film and that was the score. It was well-done I give it that, but it seemed like it was over-used and it really took away from the actions taking place. It was merely a distraction. Score aside this is a wonderful film..Score: 5/5
Will stay in your head for weeks.Great movie. Strong story and great craftsmanship from all the aspects of the film. Daniel Day Lewis is spellbinding and offers the best performance I've ever seen. All of this guided by the brilliant Paul Thomas Anderson who’s, in my opinion, on another level when it comes to filmmaking. You owe it to yourself to give this movie a chance and trust me you won't be disappointed..Score: 5/5
Nice To Look at But BoringNothing really happens in this sweeping and cinematic movie. Its kind of like No Country For Old Men but without any real real story or climax. There is some pedantic central casting plot about man of oil vs man of God but in the end some good acting is wasted on a meaningless film..Score: 2/5
