The Founder

I'd heard tales of how McDonald's was founded, but this movie really brought to light how sinister Ray Kroc was in his pursuit of wealth, fame, and self indulgence.  At the start of the movie, you actually find Mr. Kroc and his pursuits quite admirable, but as things get rolling, you realize he's not a snowball slowly gaining steam rolling down a hill, but a wrecking ball stopping at nothing to get what he wants.  The story is well told and translates well to film.  Keaton does a fantastic job as Kroc and the movie clips along at a good pace.  It's as enlightening as it is entertaining.  Recommend.
