Synopsis: Ray Kroc (Keaton) is a salesman impressed by the rational kitchen developped by the McDonald brothers (Offerman and Lynch) in LA. He turns the innovative fast food eatery into one of the biggest restaurant businesses in the world with a combination of ambition, persistence, and ruthlessness.
Review: The story is the format of business ma, self-made millionaire, as Steve Jobs or Social network. It shows that to become millionaire, you have to be tough and remorseless. Unlike Social Network in which the conflicts were felt close, The founder is more about the one guy Ray Kroc.  I found the movie quite boring, without rythm and closing space for the secondary roles to become interesting. Michael Keaton did play some good scenes, but his acting is very monotonous.  At least the movie is informative. Now I know that the founder of McDonald's is not only an asshole for the health of the consumers, it is also an asshole for his ex-business partners.
