This club is not for everyone.

Rating: 6/10 (31 October 2013)

Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto lost the weight and give award worthy performances. McConaughey is tough and angry. Leto gets deep into the fabric of the role as Rayon.
If you go to the movies to see great performances join the "Club". If you want a good time and a feel good movie, this isn't it.
The movie is and feels long with plenty of redundant drinking and drug use scenes. McConaughey carries this movie on his back, sometimes it is obvious how hard he's working. There are a couple of quiet reflective moments with Jennifer Garner that slow things to a snails pace.
The photography fits the mood. There is an outstanding scene of butterflies.
No rush to see this one in a theater as it will play well at home on various platforms.
