McConaughey's record is the cleanest three-act career in this range. Act one is range itself: the Dazed and Confused breakout in 1993, then a slasher sequel, the legal thriller A Time to Kill, Spielberg's Amistad, Contact, EDtv and the war film U-571 inside seven years. Act two is specialisation: the 2000s made him the defining male lead of the romantic comedy, from The Wedding Planner through How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Failure to Launch and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Act three, from 2010, is the deliberate turn away — The Lincoln Lawyer, Bernie, Killer Joe, Mud, Magic Mike and Dallas Buyers Club drawing the critical acclaim the comedies never sought.
