(2007)
Starring: Russell Harvard, Ciarán Hinds, Kevin J. O'Connor
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Certificate: 
Ok i was really really looking forward to seeing this having read the reviews and all, but to say it was a disapointment would be an understatement to say the least. The basic story was good, the acting was pretty good (especially daniel day lewis), however the dialogue and the directing were awful. The characters all seem awkward and while there are a few bits of engaging and intersting dialogue they are few and far between. Now when i say the directing was awful i mean that the pace of the film was all wrong its like the film keeps stalling. Just as it gets exciting we drop into a 20 minuite long boring and awkward dialogue that is irrelevent to the film. It's almost like they are trying to hide the intresting bits of the film so you have to work as hard as daniel plainview to find the gold/oil. In other words if you need a cure for insomnia look no further, if you want an engaging intresting film i would keep looking.
