One of the best movies I have seen! Daniel Day-Lewis is just awesome! If you have seen ''The Shinning'' and you liked the tone, you will most probably like this movie as well. This is not a horror movie by any means, but this movie has something unsettling about it, the way it's shot and the score helps it make unnerving. And this movie is directed it such a way, that it feels like it's a ticking time-bomb, most of the time you are at the edge of your seat! You never know what's about to happen next. Also, this movie has one of the best character development, in the form of Daniel Plainview, he is the main character, we see him as a man who is ''normal'' and hard-working in the beginning of the movie, but as the movie progresses, we see him turn into a selfish, evil-man, filled with hatred and rage, also he hates competitors! Also, Paul Dano, who plays Eli/Paul Sunday, he also did a great job!
Okay, I have praised this movie a lot, and it deserves all the praise, but I have just a small complaint, and it's just a nitpick, but I found the boy, H.W Plainview, kind of annoying, I don't know why... this is my only flaw with this movie, other than that, this is a masterpiece!
A must watch if you are a fan of movies that are well shot, well directed, has interesting characters and a good story. Also, if you are a fan of Daniel Day-Lewis, you should watch it too!
WATCH IT!
