Confusing movie with abusive sex
I thought the movie was over the top. It had a point that was important but it didn't need to get so graphic. I didn't like that when the man from the big company found about what really happened he just ignored it and left knowing the truth but never told anyone.

Very good movie
I have to say, Fast Food Nation has to be the best independent film I have ever seen. This film has important moral themes and I can't recommend it enough. Be wary of the R, though. There is extremely graphic animal mutilation in the end at a slaughterhouse, about 25 f-words (with some guy who appears twice using 3 f-words a sentence) a few s-words, people getting high on "crank", some mild sexual slang, and two sex scenes (they were more disturbing than explicit). Also in a hotel room you can hear the sounds of a porn movie (but you don't see anything). Any mature 12 to 14 year old can see this movie. Otherwise it's 15+.

did they run out of money.....bad bad bad
The issues in this movie are important, but poorly portrayed, and badly handled. There were to many stories going on at once and not one is done justice. This movie is a total waste of time. Made me feel like I was expected to remember the name of someone I met once, briefly, 20 years ago.... Wish I could get back my time, and money.

A Very Gritty Food Documental Film.
Fast Food Nation is a movie that portrays the dramatic independancies between workers and employees at fast food themed industries and restaurants, and the stress involved in the business of making and trying to sell the "Big One", a burger. In several parts of the movie, it shows actual yet very graphic and grisly scenes of cattle being shot, skinned, dismembered, and having their organs taken out by workers in a slaughter house. There's alot of strong profanity in this film, nearly every sentence has the f-word in it. There are three sex scenes in which the slaughter house manager has sex with female employees to make him give them a job, and the aftermath of him and another female smoking drugs.
