Mcconaughey steals the film

Rating: 8/10 (18 September 2014)

Even though not a lot happens, this was still a really good movie. Mcconaughey definitely deserved the Oscar. However, I wasn't impressed by Jared Leto and don't know why he won all the awards. Just because he got skinny doesn't mean it's a great acting role.
The movie is about Ron, a cowboy that drinks, does drugs, and has random sex. He finds out he is HIV positive and is given 30 days to live. He decides to take his health care into his own hands and does what he can to get a hold of drugs that may help him. He goes to Mexico and gets thousands of pills. He starts up a business called the Dallas Buyers Club in which he gives the drugs to members. Basically, he is a drug dealer, sort of helping people, but also trying to make as much money as possible. He teams up with Rayon, since he can get him more customers and needs the drugs too. And Jennifer Garner plays the doctor that thinks AZT is not a miracle drug and thinks Ron is right for trying something different.
Ron lives longer than expected and sees the day the FDA changes its regulations by making drugs more available to dying patients.
FINAL VERDICT: A really good drama. Check it out.
