"I have never been so affected by a film's mood as I have with this Daniel Day-Lewis starrer. He starts the movie as an ambitious man with plans for the future of his family and reputation. As the plot unravels, we see his attitude change to one of cruelty and avarice. The amount of human wreckage he leaves behind is astounding. Along his path of greed, he meets others who want to walk beside him, at a vicious cost. Each actor brings an amazing skill to this incredible film. That being said, as good as this film is, I don't believe I could watch it again. "
"A calm, unruly character study. What an amazing journey through the mind of an oil man. Daniel Day-Louis with the win!"

"American greed at its finest. who much is required to be rich and what do you become when you keep getting richer. at some points of the film you will root for the main character and live his ambition, later on the film that love will turn into disgust and fear from what the character has turned into"
