"When Ambition Meets Faith"

There Will be Blood (2007)
Directed by P.T. Anderson, rated R, 158 minutes

There Will be Blood is a visually arresting and utterly engrossing film about a greedy oil prospector whose insatiable thirst for success drives him to get all the oil in a small western town. Daniel Day-Lewis delivers what can only be described as a tour de force, he's charming, ruthless, greedy, frightening, powerful and absolutely unforgettable. The story is a slow burner, but the characters are interesting, the cinematography is amazing and the suspense of the story continues to build all through the film. The anxious music helps add to the unsettling and brilliantly dark mood. There Will be Blood is a relentless and awe-inspiring film that sucks you in till the shocking and perfect ending.
