Review of Fast Food Nation (2006) by Alex S — 06 Jun 2008

It really exposes nothing.

I'll sum up the movie for you: don't eat fucking fast food.

Meatpacking is nasty business. We've known that since The Jungle. And that's really what this is trying to be, except it's too streamlined and "Oh! And this...is what they do their workers, and this... is how they handle their meat, and this...".

If you really wanna be turned off by fast food, or off of meat of any kind, really, check Franju's Blood of the Beasts.

That'll open your eyes. This just Hollywoodizes an issue that doesn't really work Hollywoodized.

I did like it's view on the modern world, however.
