Review of Apt Pupil (1998) by Charles L — 09 Feb 2009
Disturbing mind rape. Bryan Singer's homoerotic paranoia subtexted into every frame of morbid Nazi fantasy.
His obsession with the belief that all anyone values is power is also quite sickening.
Don't watch this if you value your ability to sleep. I don't care what famous directors there are that arouse themselves by watching this subtle porn, this movie should be viewed by no one.
If you like Ian McCellan as an actor, I would recommend you watch him in any movie of his but this one. Even X-Men 3 is better than this heap of garbage.
The whole thing with shifting balances of power was better done by Hitchcock, and by, dare I say it - DJ Caruso, the clown behind "Disturbia.".
