I was skeptical of this
film for a while before watching it, and boy way I wrong! This film was
outstanding and had me changing a lot of my Oscar pics as it is up for numerous
awards. So another "based on a true story" for the awards this
year which makes 5 I think. Story line is McConaughy's character is a
womanizer, slime ball, hustler who finds out he has Aids and is basically
shunned by his redneck community. He finds that the US drugs arent
working and searches in Mexico for something better. He finds an unusual
business partner in Leto, who is a cross dressing, gay, Aids patient to supply
the people in the states with this non FDA approved drug. The acting was
excellent, and Leto should win the supporting role for this. The only
negative I would give this movie is I have a hard time believing this redneck
character learned so much about the Aids drugs in such a short time. I
highly suggest seeing this movie, if anything to see if Leto wins for Best
Supporting.
(FYI-Jared Leto lost 30 lbs
to play this role and was his first role in 5 years)
