User Reviews: Fast Food Nation (2006)
This movie tries to be too may things
Pros: The first half of this movie is very well done.
Cons: The second half tries to cover too many topics and then fails at all of them.
This movie attempts to deal with the world of fast food, the process of meat in particular. It starts off great, has an amazing cast, and pulls you in to the gross hilarity of the corporate fast food world. It also tells the tale of the workers who sneak in from Mexico, small town America, coming of age, and the inhumanity of the slaughtering process. I wanted to like this movie...but it lost me after Greg Kinnear's character left the story. It became a commentary on boarder crossing and slaughter houses and honestly (powerful though the ending was) left me unsatisfied as it tried to be too much. The first half gets 4 stars, the second gets 2, the slaughter scene in the end is amazing shock value, and the last shot gets negative 1 star.

Cons: needs more work, very superficial
Have you ever thought why your Burger tastes different from one fast food restaurant to the other ?! Maybe it's the meat, maybe it's the cooking ... but have you actually seen what happens before the Burger is served to you ! ! ! Track this process, starting from the cow ranches till the actual serving through the eyes of Don "Greg Kinnear", a marketing advisor set to investigate the presence of a "strange" additive that found it's way inside the meat !!! Follow him through the lives of the illegal Mexican immigrants, what the cows eat, and finally the meat processing until you finally know, why does the "Big One" taste so great ... Guest Appearance by Bruce Willis ...
