Paul Thomas Anderson's 'There Will Be Blood' is an intriguing epic that highlights both the importance of wealth and the severity of moral corruptness in pursuing the American dream, as well as featuring an excellently constructed cinematography, art direction, and fantastically emotional and sinister performances from leads Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano.
