Buy into This-Dallas Buyers Club ***1/2

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2014)

Actors Matthew McConaughey delivers a powerful performance as an electrician-rodeo dude who discovers that he is HIV positive. His life consists of totally raunchy style. That certain four-letter word keeps flowing from his mouth, and that tends to detract from a very good film, especially in the early scenes.
It is only when the McConaughey character becomes a fellow activist for his fellow AIDS sufferers that the film, a compelling one, really seems to take hold.
As a transvestite, Jared Leto delivers a magnificent performance, truly worthy of him walking away with the best supporting actor Oscar award tomorrow night.
The film shows what AIDS stricken people had to go through with an apparent uncaring FDA and McConaughey is ready, willing and able to take them on at any cost.
A powerful film, one of the best I've viewed in years.
