Re: Apt Pupil -- The Film
100% agree...but having Star Movies show this film for a considerable amount of time makes up for the "underappreciation."

I love the fact it was the boy that turned out to be the evil one. His obsession was frightening. Outstanding performances from both Renfro and McKellen.

I wonder if a soviet-america would produce boys like that.
Re: Apt Pupil -- The Film
Really? I thought this was a turkey.
Renfro was awful and Sir McKellan wasted his time.
It also had a script that left much to be desired and a director who hadn't completed teething. Mr. Singer did a great job on other (read: later) flicks but truly showed poor judgment when he didn't cast Heath Ledger as Todd.

If you liked Apt Pupil the film or book.The Reader starring Kate Winslet is worth checking out,a very similar story
The Reader (2008 film)

Todd Bowden is just scary son of bitch
Re: Apt Pupil -- The Film
I hated that they screwed up the ending but I really did like the fist 2/3 of it.
