Good story and phenomenal performances

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2014)

Dallas Buyer Club is so far, the best role Mathew McConaughey has ever performed but not only that, it is also a tribute to those pioneers who fought the AIDS in the late eighties and a fierce criticism to the American health system, where sometimes it seems that industry regulators set everybody's interest aside, in favor of a small group of companies. The movie leans on the terrific performances of Jared Leto and Mathew McConaughey, the transsexual and the taught bull rider, two antagonist characters who can't stick together in the beginning but eventually, they end up forming a solid duo. The metamorphosis suffered by Ron Woodroof as AIDS pops in his life is not only physical, sickness also transforms his mentality to make a leader of himself on behalf of fair regulations for medicines and chemicals. Thus, eventually one ends up with the feeling that Ron was not simply a bull rider, alcoholic and homophobic but one of the best examples of the critical mass in the US
