A young Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan), eager to make his name as a hungry second son of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé—someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win. The Apprentice is written by Gabriel Sherman and directed by Ali Abbasi.

After watching Succession, and reading about Cohn, this looks very interesting.

There should be way more interest in this movie.

I just saw it, and its a great film. Its not a hatchet job or a brainless biopic. Its a film with an important story to tell. The origin story of a villain. Whats remarkable is that almost everything in the movie is a matter of historical record.

Roy Cohn was one of the most malignant moral blanks in American public life, and Trump has taken his example to its extreme, inevitable conclusion.

Jeremy Strong's performance is fantastic and could have been explored in more detail. Sebastian Stan is pitch perfect as Trump. He has more of an arc, starting out as a reserved mid level player, who is able to use Cohn's connections and advice to build on his fathers empire and ending up as the shyt talking wannabe autocrat he is today.

I think a lot of thought went into the details and it will grow a cult audience over time. Definitely worth checking out if you can find a theater thats playing it.

The movie should have been about Roy Cohn. The real story is about him but they are so focused on getting Trump involved it drags the movie down. Its kinda all over the place. Starts off strong with the first half but becomes a mess in the second. Could have been better and should have been better :ufdup:

i liked it. 4/5 stars

dude playing roy cohn or should i say roy colon :dame: took it there

he had this evil twisted sadistic bisexual midget energy like @Sad Bunny and it freaked me the fukk out

guy playing trump was awesome too. there is a rape scene thats pretty graphic

id be kinda nervous if i had anything to do with this film. its not a sympathetic portrayal of trump at all
