Daniel Day Lewis is perfectly cast in his role, and he brings so many emotions together in his character throughout the movie, which shows his amazing and phenomenal talent (seriously, if you have any doubt...watch this or My Left Foot or even Gangs of New York). I dare say only Marlon Brando in The Godfather is just an edge better than Daniel in There Will Be Blood.

**MINOR SPOILER**

Just watch the emotions fly across Daniel's face when he screams "I told you I would eat you!"

This is a SUPERB little effort by Paul T Anderson. His Boogie Nights and Magnolia were gems in their own right, and with There Will Be Blood, he has achieved a new high. This man's good...really REALLY good. If it doesnt win an Academy Award, there's something SERIOUSLY wrong with the Academy Awards panel. Too bad it didnt get a wider release.

Anyone who is a lover of serious, gritty and realistic cinema should see this. I am buying the DVD when it comes out. Recommended to Rod, Alky, Newb, Jenna, Despare, Zwoti and anyone else who fits the bill said above.
