Great Acting in a Passable Storyline.
31 July 2023
There Will Be Blood manages to shine through with its exceptional acting while falling short of achieving the status of a masterpiece.

The acting in this movie is undoubtedly the film's strongest aspect. Daniel Day-Lewis delivers a great performance as Daniel the determined and ruthless prospector. The runtime shows that great acting making it very good in that certain aspect. Daniel Day-Lewis delivers a stellar performance, bringing depth and intensity to his character. The supporting cast also deliver commendable performances, further enhancing the film's overall impact. That being said the reason for this film being a positive in my eyes is mainly down to the acting as the nothing else triumphs as great as the acting in this movie.

The story is decent enough to keep you invested, but it doesn't quite reach the heights of other movies i would consider brilliant (let alone a masterpiece). While it held my attention, it didn't at all leave a lasting impact and it certainly wouldn't be considered close to a personal favourite movie. It holds its own and keeps you engaged with an intriguing storyline, but it lacks the profound impact of other films often considered greats. It's an engaging story no doubt, but it doesn't soar to the heights of those unforgettable movies that leave an incredible mark on your mind.

The soundtrack was okay, but it didn't stand out as something extraordinary. It complemented the movie adequately, but it didn't leave a lasting impression or enhance the overall experience significantly. It doesn't include any standout themes or compositions that can elevate a movie to another level.

Overall, the movie is a well-acted film with an engaging enough story, earning it the title of something I would consider anyone to watch. While it falls short of being a great movie, the great acting performances make it something I would truly recommend for at least a single viewing. However, the less impressive narrative might leave some desiring a more impactful cinematic experience. Though not perfect, it remains a commendable entry in the realm of film, leaving a lasting impression with its very good performances.

7/10.
