Dallas Buyers Club
Dallas Buyers Club is a 2013 biographical drama film starring Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto and Jennifer Garner.
It's set in 1985 in Dallas, with electrician and hustler Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey) working around the system to help AIDS patients get the medication they need after he is himself diagnosed with the disease. Ron is an agressive and straight talking character and when he is diagnosed with this vicious virus and told he has just 30 days to live he refuses to back down. Based on a true story- about a hetrosexual good ol' boy in Dallas,Texas, this movie makes for an insightful and entertaining watch.
This movie is made by the excellent acting by Matthew McConaughey, which earned him an oscar for best actor. It is entertaining throughout without being truly brilliant and I felt it lacked a real spark.
Overall this is a movie that is definitely worth a watch, especally for the performance of McConaughey which was nothing short of spectacular. I would give this movie a rating of 7.8/10.
