i didnt like the suspence/thriller part of
Man of the Year either. i love the rant he goes on in the debate.
Fast Food Nation(2006) Dir. Richard Linklater.
been looking forward to this since the trailer i first seen few months back. not reading anytiihing about this, except Linklatter i thought this was going to be a straight up comedy. i was wrong. its more of a day-to-day of people who are in one way or another employed by a fast food restaurant called Mickeys. The movie takes place between 3 seperate groups of people. one is a bunch of illegal mexicans just hopping the border start working at a slaughterhouse that provides meat for Mickeys, the other a teenage girl who is a hostess at a Mickey's and the other is a president of marketing of Mickey's corporation.
7/10 - worth checking out. its got a gruesome ending which alll meatlovers will love.
