At the turn of the century oil is found, and indeed, there will be blood. This Paul Thomas Anderson film, so very different from his earlier films like 'Boogie Nights' and 'Magnolia', shows this through one man, and with the help of a phenomenal performance from Daniel Day-Lewis (again) he succeeds admirably. 'There Will Be Blood' may be more conventional than the other films mentioned, in its own way it is something very special. There will be some Oscars, too.
