I really liked this movie. The actors are great, the story is gripping and told in a way that never lets you go.

At the end I'm divided in feeling sorry for the brothers and acknowledging the a of Ray Kroc. The world needed these three people to come together to give us the fast food industry of today. The brothers invented a truly unique system and way of thinking, down to the quality control that seemed to be missing back then. And then we needed a guy who wanted to take this to the next level and to the world.

I'm not sure at the end if the movie is trying to paint Mr. Kroc as the ruthless asshole ... I wished there to be some kind of acknowledgement of Mr. Kroc that his success was based on a brand new system and that he was somehow grateful for this. I think I need to read some biographies to find out the details.

But this film was incredibly fun to watch and rarely do I hand out 10 stars ... but this one got it.

I don't review a lot, and all of my reviews mention that I am easily impressed. I like movies like Last Action Hero or similar that tanked with critics.

But this one ... this one I gave up on. I can't explain it, it was just bad to watch. You get thrown into a situation, people form bonds instantly, minors are suddenly super detectives and undercover agents ... this movie gives you so many set variables that you feel like you don't need to see anything evolve. I had no connection to anyone, I could not find any humor in it, despite it throwing it in my face. The whole time I thought "what am I watching here??"

I am patient and I am easily pleased, but this movie made me walk out.

I gave it a 10. It's not the best show I've watched, by far. But I find it very refreshing. Ignoring the uber-patriotic crew and the sometimes cheesy dialog and cookie-cutter bravado, the show starts with an interesting setup and follows it through some obstacles. Despite the moments where you have to roll your eyes and say "yeah, they just had to do that" you will find it enjoyable. Mainly because it is a new take on a topic that is all the rage right now. The current real-life Ebola epidemic makes it all the more contemporary. So give it a go. You'll like it. It engages you, it makes you think of a future where this is happening. You'll find yourself wondering, what it is like to be both trapped and in a safe zone on a ship with the ability to defend yourself against adversaries.
