This one's a must-see. Yes, there is blood, but the acting and the story are worth it. Daniel Day-Lewis should get the Best Actor Oscar for this one. He is superb.
The other nice thing often missing from some of the current movies is that the storyline is easy to follow. It has some convolutions at first, but all are eventually pulled together for the audience. We left very satisfied with a believable story line, that of an oilman from Wisconsin who makes it in the hardscrabble business. It is based on Upton Sinclair's novel, "Oil", and the real story is how Day-Lewis's character accomplishes what he does and the price he pays.
If I gave stars for this, it would be 4 out of 4. It leaves Juno in the West Texas dust.
