In the four-star Miami Herald review of Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood, Rene Rodriguez writes that Daniel Day-Lewis performs "one of the all-time great screen feats of acting" in his portrayal of the ruthless American oilman Daniel Plainview. Of the director, Rodriguez writes that, with Blood, Anderson aims to
