beastiebros The movie is very solid and enjoyable to watch... That said it didn't really innovate or take any risk (Not that every movie has to do that) The dialogue is very well written and the cinematography is beautiful there where a few actor that I didn't enjoy but overall I would recommend this movie.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 Not often does a film protagonist change for the worst, but here the lead character becomes less likeable as the feature progresses - alienating the audience just as he alienates almost everyone else close to him. 'The Founder (2017)' is a well-made, entertaining flick that sheds light on a tragic, frustrating story and makes me simultaneously want to eat a McDonalds but also boycott it due to its rampant commercialism along with it's fraudulent history. It's surprisingly compelling stuff, considering it could have simply played out as an advert for the fast food giant. Choosing the perspective it did was close to genius and makes for an incredibly interesting incarnation of this story. 7/10

beorhhouse No. We didn't need a film about the world's worst fast food restaurant. Or its alleged founder. Keaton rips a hole in his britches with this one, folks. He's far better as Beetlejuice and as the tragic hero of My Life. Ever researched just what goes into those chicken nuggets? The hamburgers? It's pretty far from being actual food. Maybe it was better in 1954, but money makes the world go round, so if you can buy truckloads of spoiled beef when none of the other chains will touch it, why not, right? Skip this one, and the actual restaurant too--if you care about your health.

Leofwine_draca THE FOUNDER is a film much like Fincher's THE SOCIAL NETWORK: a business-based biopic that sounds rather dull on the page, but which turns out to be spellbinding when on the screen. It's a tale looking at the inception and growth of McDonald's in the 1950s in the hands of the ruthless salesman Ray Kroc, who saw potential in a small business and made it into the franchise it is today. The film is lengthy but perfectly made with just the right pace, and the acting from the principal players is exemplary: Michael Keaton is fully enjoying his career renaissance and as good as he was in SPOTLIGHT, while John Carroll Lynch brings the same heart to the film as he did to FARGO. As with THE SOCIAL NETWORK, this turns out to be less about business and success than about the human capacity for greed and ruthlessness, and man's ability to step on his fellow man in order to reach the top of the ladder. It's remarkably engaging.
