I really wanted this movie to be good, but it just wasn't. maybe the material is too hard to translate into fictional material, or maybe Linklater was having an off few months, but it is a shame because the messages in Schlosser's book need to get out. the cast was decent but the movie didn't hold together. Linklater climaxed with a scene of the meat packing plant's killing room floor that was so disgusting, I had to fast forward through it. very disappointing, but definitely read the book instead.
