Some of Daniel Day Lewis’ dialogue (”I will find you no matter what the cost!”) was pretty bad. I thought it detracted from an otherwise well made film.

Actually he said, "I will find you, no matter what occurs." It sounds stilted to our modern ears, but it was the way some folks talked back then, even, I daresay, backwoodsmen, who were raised on the formal language of the Bible.

It is a lovely soundtrack, and one that I don't have. I'll have to rectify that! ;o)

If the dialogue of the whole film had been that way I would agree. There were just a few lines like that which sounded very out of place.

I agree about the soundtrack. It is excellent.
