Pros DDL, Anderson, dark and brooding
Cons Slow? Long? Personal preference.
Bottom Line A film set in the West where the oil is thicker than blood and stronger than creed; a journey of selfishness and greed to an unforgettable climax. Highly recommended.

Pros Day-Lewis scores the big one in a classic performance...
Cons May be too violent for some audiences...
Bottom Line Daniel Day-Lewis delivers a spellbinding performance as an uncompromising oil man and his obsessive drive for success...

Pros Interesting in some parts
Cons I got the symbolism, but still didn't like the movie
Bottom Line I got the message, but I didn't enjoy the delivery.
 
Pros Day-Lewis' deranged performance saves (and then some) what could have been an epic disaster.
Cons Quite long. Dark, violent, even upsetting in places. Unclear in purpose.
Bottom Line It's not a perfect film. It's not even a pleasant one. There Will Be Blood is, however, a film with brains, and that's a welcome relief these days.

Pros Total immersion in another era; Daniel Day-Lewis.
Cons Daniel Plainveiw is a monster.
Bottom Line Slowly building, this drama is dark and dangerous; Historical Noir. It is brilliant, but shines with a black light.
