    The movie and acting were extraordinary. The music was very much out of place though.

    I can't wait to see this movie! Daniel Day Lewis was haunting and brilliant in Gangs of New York and it seemls like he brings that same intensity to "Blood".

    I saw the movie last night on a screening copy from which I am to make a judgment and vote. I had looked forward to the movie as it was promoted as having been based on Upton Sinclair's novel. Well, fuhgeddaboudit. This movie might well be Mr. Anderson's masterpiece, as some critics have offered, but it drew in none of us. We stuck with it hoping that somehow the movie would be brought together by some masterful device or line. No such luck. Spend the price of your ticket to buy a copy of Sinclair's book. It rings jsut as true today and is actually comprehensible.

    "Amuck" is "amok," but review is good.
