If you are going to make a film that takes the very best ideas of two cinema classics then not only do you have to own that decision, but you must ensure it works phenomenally well, that there is room for the film to become its own stand out feature, and not just a hybrid that people will reflect upon throughout their time in front of the screen.

A lot has been made of the fact that actor Matthew McConaughey lost an incredible amount of weight to portray foul mouthed, bull riding cowboy, AIDS sufferer Ron Woodruff in the film The Dallas Buyers Club that it almost seems to have detracted from the real point of an exceptionally made film. The redemption of a man from completely unlikeable, homophobic and intolerant person at the start to somebody you would be able to sit down and have a conversation with without wanting to take to task.
