    Paul elevates every film he’s in. He’s been one of my favourite actors for over a decade, including and especially because of his performance in There Will Be Blood. The way he held his own next to DDL and brought the Sundays to life on such short notice is nothing short of miraculous.

    Escape at Dannemora – Dano, Benicio del Toro as convicts who BOTH woo Patricia Arquette's prison employee! True story. The acting is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!! A must see. Check Paramount & Prine. Maybe Quentin is just plain jealous?
