{movie} fast food nation (2006)

Richard Linklater's fictional tale (inspired by Eric Schlosser's 2001 book of the same name) critiques the junk-food juggernaut that's arguably responsible for America's alarming obesity rates. Don Henderson (Greg Kinnear), a corporate exec of a national fast-food chain, follows beef's journey from the corrals to the slaughterhouses and ultimately to your stomach. The power cast includes Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette and Bruce Willis.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** I am never eating fast food again. For the most part, this was a well done film, albeit with some slow moments at times. No one in the cast really stands out which really allows the story and the point to be driven home. The ending was a bit disappointing and left me feeling a bit empty and abandoned.
