Admit nothing, deny everything.

The Apprentice — 3.5/5

More than a good movie, a useful movie. Part of me wants to feel sympathy for these people because, uh, I'm a good person (?), but if I can push past that, it's a useful tool for seeing how monsters create monsters. The bad news is that they'll exceed their creators. The good news is that they will also destroy them. 

Also, the aesthetics of this movie are great, combo-ing archival NYC footage with the film, creating a verisimilitude. It feels vintage, authentic.
