I’ve not been a fan of Matthew McConaughey; I could never get past his southern drawl. This movie has changed my mind though.

McConaughey plays the role of Ron Woodroof a man who has been given a month to live after he is diagnosed with AIDS. Rather than give in to his disease he begins researching the effective drugs that are available around the world. He forms the Dallas Buyers Club and makes these drugs available to its members. He is fighting for his life and the lives of the club members, but he is hampered by the established medical community and the government regulators.
