Micheal Keaton Is Making Big Mac's And Big Oscar Nomination Chances!

How is Michael Keaton's performance as McDonald's self-proclaimed founder Ray Kroc? I gotta say, I'm lovin' it. Keaton is firing on all cylinders in The Founder and he makes this electrifying film something to see. Kroc was a hustler down to his fingertips, but he never found the product he was born to sell until he eyeballed those golden arches. That's right: Everything about this fast-food franchise, from the pickle to the bun, was already there when Kroc drove out from his Illinois base in 1954 to see what Dick McDonald (Nick Offerman) and his low-key brother Maurice (John Carroll Lynch) were cooking up in San Bernadino, California. They run their one shop with speed and efficiency; taking over America is the last thing on their quality-obsessed minds. But long before Donald Trump made his thoughts known about the art of the deal, Kroc was in there empire-building. Trailing a long line of flop inventions, the man is smart enough to see a future in cheap burgers. Let the bodies fall where they may.
