Synopsis
Fast Food Nation (2006) is a Richard Linklater drama you can watch online on iFILM. The film threads together the people on every side of the fast-food counter.
A chain's marketing man learns that traces of manure keep turning up in the company's frozen patties and drives out to the supplier's plant. Around that orbit Mexican immigrants doing brutal, underpaid work on the slaughterhouse floor, and a teenage cashier desperate to climb out of the whole machine. Linklater adapts Eric Schlosser's bestselling investigation into a fiction feature, with an ensemble running from Greg Kinnear and Ethan Hawke to Patricia Arquette, Catalina Sandino Moreno and Bruce Willis.
It's an angry, deliberately unglamorous look at what a cheap burger really costs — no lecturing, just a closing stretch that may put you off the drive-thru for good. A social drama for anyone curious about the underside of everyday things. Stream Fast Food Nation (2006) online on iFILM.
