The Apprentice is full of many things: great acting, charismatic characters, shocking revelations, and more. However, one thing it is missing is a way to measure how much of the various claims are spot on or something created with creative liberty. That being said, for anyone who watches this, even if you feel you are prepared for anything, you still are not prepared for this. Many of the things that occur in the movie are very unsettling and really make you think about the culture that our current governing and monetary systems come with and appear to support. That being said, the film does a great job of presenting the different periods and the subsequent evolution of the characters and their surroundings. The amount of work and skill that it must have taken to execute these characters so well is truly a testament to the craft of acting.
