'Dallas Buyers Club': Skinning the cat anyway possible . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on December 9, 2013 at 15:19:49:
Matthew McConaughey plays hard living electrician and rodeo rider, Ron Woodroof. Woodroof is a supercharged cowboy-redneck dynamo who finally hits the deck one day only to wake up in a Dallas hospital with a diagnosis of HIV and having 30 days to live. In a state of disbelief, he refuses to accept his death sentence and begins to seek out what he can do for himself by crossing the border to find a solution. He comes back with a trunk full of drugs (non FDA approved) and begins to distribute them by selling monthly memberships. The time is 1985 and AZT was just then being used in trials which proved more fatal than the disease while the FDA was blocking almost every from of treatment from outside the country. Amazingly, Woodroof beat his 30 day sentence by seven years before succumbing.
MM and the supporting cast are good but Jared Leto gives an Oscar worthy performance as Rayon who is Woodroof's cross-dressing gay business partner also afflicted with AIDS. This film is well worth a trip to the theater.
