Bullseyes: ② (out of 5)
Matthew Mcconaughey
is a weird looking bloke. But his boney
limbed appearance in Dallas Buyers Club makes him all the more bizarre. As with many films I found myself distracted
by the actor at the expense of the character. So for this movie I was never
fully immersed.
Some
actors are able to fully inhibit their characters – Meryl Streep is the obvious
one that comes to mind – hey that’s not Meryl it’s Maggie! But too many, like Mcconaughey, fall short.
Another distraction was Jennifer Garner – why is she here exactly? And what is the purpose of her character? And why is she no longer hot…?!

Distractions
aside, Dallas Buyers Club skips along nicely and the acting is all well and
good, but I couldn’t help thinking that this was all just a big vanity project
for Mcconaughey. A way out of his mostly
shallow macho man movies. Hopefully
he’ll beef back up next time and leave the skinny roles for a starving actor or
two. I hear Michael Cera is free...
