Film: There Will Be Blood directed by Paul Thomas Anderson

An interesting film about an oil prospector at the turn of the 20th century. The film shows a great recreation of the hard life these people had, the physically tough work, and danger of drilling wells.

That was enough to captivate my attention, and unfortunately the plot about the main character becoming entwined in a religion so that he could pursue drilling rights wore a little thin on me. The film descends into a unexpectedly dark ending.

Still an impressive film, 7/10
