Fast Food Nation would've been more effective as a documentary, but Richard Linklater has done the best he could with investigative journalist Eric Schlosser's dense novel of the same name. The film makes the case for how random and disconnected things really are even though they don't appear to be so. But, thankfully, Linklater doesn't employ propaganda techniques to convey his point; he's too literate to do so. Issues are balanced out nicely at key moments (Bruce Willis's character isn't likeable but there's a lot of truth in what he has to say). I'll comment on more films later.
