The Founder, 5pm, AMC

The Founder on AMC.

The film “The Founder,” directed by John Lee Hancock, follows the story of Ray Kroc, the man responsible for turning McDonald’s into a major corporation. Despite having all the elements of an Oscar-worthy film, it was largely ignored upon its release due to its refreshingly unconventional nature. Michael Keaton portrays Kroc as a typical ambitious American, but those familiar with his history know the damage he caused in pursuit of his dreams. This movie presents Kroc as both a hero and a villain, making for a thought-provoking and intricate viewing experience.
