Anderson's vision is uncompromising and razor sharp. Nothing in his first four features quite prepares us for the precision and vicious wit displayed here.

In a way, there's not a step you haven't seen in classics going as far back as Citizen Kane. Still, there are enough oddities in the details to keep you full of questions.

There Will Be Blood establishes itself as a film of Darwinian ferocity, a stark and pitiless parable of American capitalism.

If Day-Lewis isn't front and center, the film drags with themes such as oil vs. religion, and greed is always around...

As a film about one man's obsessive egomania, There Will Be Blood does its job.
