Just watched this movie last night on Netflix. It was pretty good.. I heard about the relationship between the founders being controversial, but I didn't know Ray Croc was that ruthless.

    That ? was COLD BLOODED at the end. Kroc basically stole McD's up from under the Brothers, and snatched dude wife up.

    You'd think he'd get his in the end. ? no. Ray Kroc ended up owning the San Diego Padres up until his death.

    Yeah, this movie was slept on. Kroc was a real life villain...He basically stole everything he could and took credit for it all.. With no remorse. And casting Michael Keaton was perfect cause he killed that role.

    This was a good movie, definitely slept on.

    Keaton was terrific in this, i can't even knock the hustle of what Kroc did.

    Look at what McDonalds became because of him.

    That was crazy...Why not lawyer up to get something in writing and overlooked. Good hearted brothers that were taken advantage of in the worst way. Felt like a horror movie the way it ended... They couldn't even use the logo or name anymore...good grief...

    The trailer definitely gave a different impression for this film.

    Ray said that the investors wouldn't agree to give them the 3 million if them getting royalties was in the contract. I would have said ? that but Ray pretty much had them by the ?

    Still would have sued him. They would have gone bankrupt doing it but they would have won. I'd go in the gutter with my enemy just to say ? him
