Amazing acting

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2014)

I liked this film quite a bit, but it really belongs to Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Both are absolutely amazing in their roles, but Matthew impressed me more simply because I haven't thought he's been great in any of his other recent performances. In fact, I'd thought people were overrating him, but he completely disappears in this. He owns the role, through and through, and instantly makes Ron likable in spite of how he starts off. I really have nothing else to say, the script and directing are pretty good but the film wouldn't be anything without these two central performances. Garner was decent, although I would have liked a more capable actress in the role.
