 Ever wondered how McDonalds became the massive multi generational phenomenon that it is today? Ever wondered who was the opportunist genius who discovered the opportunity to cash in on human beings’ insatiable appetite for tasty burgers? Are you in the mood for another terrific acting performance from Michael Keaton? Then The Founder, out in theaters this Friday, is the film you definitely need to see.

 That's at the heart of this story. A good product that doesn't go big, distribution-wise, remains simply that. You need the vision, the drive, the belief in something bigger than yourself (yes, even if that sounds like marketing bluster) to be great, to be remembered long after you pass from this life. Watch it by all means. It's an interesting tale of greed and ambition and a treatise on why, in business, there are no good men, and why only the rotten ones flourish.

 Hancock not only tells us the story of how the McDonald's empire came into being but also addresses a relevant life-crisis… Can the modest survive in the dog-eat-dog world and what should one focus on — quality or quantity? While the story doesn’t justify Kroc’s ruthless business antics and his complete disregard for ethics, it doesn’t overlook his vision, branding genius and contribution to the formation of the McDonald’s empire either. The Founder is reminiscent of The Social Network (2010) in many ways. However, Hancock fails to infuse that tension into his storytelling like David Fincher did, making his film more informative than interesting. The film has a stillness of pace around it that’s also an issue. This business drama falls short of being a powerful biopic but if you are a loyal customer of McDonald’s, a budding businessman or a Michael Keaton fan, you’ll like it.
