There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood is a 2007 American epic period drama film written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, based partially on Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel Oil! It stars Daniel Day-Lewis as Daniel Plainview, a silver miner turned oilman on a merciless pursuit for fortune amid the late 19th and early 20th-century oil boom in Southern California. Dillon Freasier, Paul Dano, Kevin J. O'Connor, Ciarán Hinds, and Kevin J. O'Connor also feature.

Day-Lewis brings to life all of the craziness and misery of the increasingly aggressive Daniel Plainview in this masterful performance that earned him his second Academy Award for Best Actor. Day-Lewis is at his finest when he plays ruthless guys, which is a sharp contrast to his public demeanor, and his ferocity builds to a crescendo as every sign of sympathy and benevolence is whittled away. This outstanding performance, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, gradually grows increasingly frightening until the film's devastating conclusion.
