Movie Story
A sprawling epic about family, greed, corruption, and the pursuit of the American dream. Set in the booming West coast oil fields at the turn of the 20th century, "There Will Be Blood" follows the rise of rugged prospector Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) who becomes an independent oilman after hitting it rich with the strike of a lifetime. Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film is inspired by Upton Sinclair's novel "Oil!"

Reader's Reviews
pretty boring most parts. long sections, especially beginning with no dialog. Kind of wierd; leaves you staring at the screen with you neck hunched, eyes squinting, wondering what the f is going on... I'd rent it, never buy it. Thats if there is no other movie in the store worth seeing.
