Blunt and entertaining real life raw story of one man's fight to live!

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2013)

Matthew McConaughey really is starting to do wonderful work in film and this is very clear with his performance of Ron Woodroof, a role that was meant for Matthew as he makes this real life Texas cowboy seem so real. "Dallas Buyers Club" is one emotional, raw and tragic film that shows a viewer that sometimes a person must take matters into their own hands. As for one Ron Woodroof it was a matter of life and death. Set in 1985 at the early start of the AIDS dawn in Texas near Dallas Ron Woodroof(Matthew McConaughey)is a hard living "Jack Daniels" drinking and drug snorting partying type who loves having casual sex on the side with wild women when he's not being a bull rider or working as an electrician. And after upon discovery that he has HIV and told he has 30 days to live, it's then that Ron starts a plan. You guessed it Woodroof can't get the expensive AZT drug in America and many other drugs he's heard about the American FDA won't approve so it's now time for some globe trotting from Mexico to Japan to get and transport some non approved drugs for himself and many other AIDS patients back to the United States! Ron even starts his own business calling it the "Dallas Buyers Club"! As Ron is fighting more and more to prevent getting full blown AIDS. In a beautiful and raw supporting role is the help that Ron gets from an AIDS patient and AZT user named Rayon a bisexual hooker and strong drug user(in Jared Leto's best ever role!) Thru it all Woodroof fights the establishment to the fullest he's clearly not a yes man! This film showed that one man's voice was for the fight to live and the freedom to medicate and experiment with the will to live, I'm glad "The Dallas Buyers Club" showcased one great antihero in Ron Woodroof.
