Dallas Buyers Club


Based on the true life story of Ron Woodruff, an electrician who lived somewhat of a party lifestyle and was diagnosed with AIDS.  Unable to get the medication he needed due to restrictions of the FDA, Ron utilizes various schemes and methods to bring alternative, less harmful drugs from other countries for his use and other AIDS patients.

Rating:  4/5 stars

Very well done.  Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto (as well as Jennifer Garner) did excellent jobs!  Very insightful, and it was interesting to see the roles and involvement of drug companies and the FDA in regards to which drugs were released to the public for use and their regulations.
