Dallas Buyers Club - Review

Where do I begin here?  This is a remarkable tale starring Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, and Jennifer Garner is highly enjoyable to watch and it will not disappoint.  The acting on all cylinders is brilliant as Leto will be nominated for an Oscar without question.  It is one of the best performances that I have seen all year and he presents a wonderful job.  The story is a interesting one as it is based on a true story of a man named Ron Woodruff (McConaughey) who goes around the world trying to find medication for AIDS for himself and other part of his group called the Dallas Buyers Club.  Some parts did seem like they lasted for a while and the movie had trouble progressing at times though.  However, some things in the film I didn't feel were explained enough or demonstrated thoroughly as well which the film could have improved on as well.  In the scheme of things, I really did like this story and how it was played out along with the acting.  I think this one will definitely be nominated for Best Picture, but I don't think it is a lock to win though, but Jared Leto may very well be looking at a winning this year.

Rating - 3.5/5
