Fast Food Nation ** 1/2
(First Viewing)

An ensemble piece examining the health risks involved in the fast food industry and its environmental and social consequences as well.

A very interesting film that takes an in depth look at the fast food industry. I thought the film started out well with a narrow focus, but by the end of it, I felt it just branched out too much and was trying to balance it all. However, it did end on a powerful note. Probably my third favorite Richard Linklater film behind Dazed and Confused and A Scanner Darkly. Worth the rent and I'll probably purchase the DVD.
