The movie is about a fifty-year-old businessman-loser who managed to make McDonald's the most popular and profitable restaurant in history. Ray Kroc, played by Michael Keaton, was an ordinary businessman who sold mixers. His life was a failure. He worked hard, but couldn't win. Persistence was always his slogan in life and he was always trying to find his luck. And one day he met McDonald brothers: Dick and Mac, who showed him an incredible system how to make a burger just in thirty seconds. It stroke Ray and he decided to help the McDonald brothers to franchise this idea in many other cities.
This biopic is a well-made movie having some little pacing issues, but at the same time having this genius Michael Keaton, who does his best, as I suppose he did, playing Ray Kroc. This story is about one man's struggle. He has been a loser all his life, but now he has this opportunity, which he took, and finally won.
Everyone knows that he is a founder. But only a few knows whom McDonald brothers really were. They were just as hard working as Ray, but they were no businessmen, good managers, maybe, but they had no killer instinct as Ray had, and he played on that. This is history, that Ray Kroc finally bought the company from brothers and made his own empire. So this movie might make Michael Keaton's character a little unsympathising, but he is just a man who did, what everyone would have done in his place - history for himself. That is how a loser became a king.
The movie itself shows Ray Kroc's way to the top. Bad or good this movie is, it is not really important. The story delivered well, the script is nice after all. I wouldn't call this movie ordinary, but, as a whole, it is above average in quality. It inspires and delivers the story of McDonald's and Ray Kroc well.
