Resumen
Reviewers say 'The Apprentice' delves into Donald Trump's early career under Roy Cohn, emphasizing ambition, power, and corruption. The performances, especially Sebastian Stan as Trump and Jeremy Strong as Cohn, are lauded for capturing character nuances. However, some critics argue the narrative lacks depth and coherence, often feeling scattered. While the film is seen as informative and engaging, it is criticized for not providing new insights into Trump's character. The visual aesthetics and period recreation are praised, but the script is noted for its simplicity and lack of subtlety. Overall, 'The Apprentice' is a mixed bag with strong performances and themes, yet significant storytelling and character development flaws.

The film's director said in a recent interview that he wasn't sure if this film would enhance or detract from Donald Trump's reputation...
Having watched it, I'm not sure either...
I was initially attracted to this film as an MCU fan. Donald Trump is played by Sebastian Stan who is Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier in Marvel films. He does not disappoint as the US President to be...
The movie certainly starts off by making Trump look more human than perhaps he or some of the media have in the last few years...
How he's changed by the apprenticeship under Roy Cohn & the money & the power is certainly one of the themes...
The shots of him in the 80's that are made to look grainy like 80's TV are a nice touch...
If I have one criticism (which is why I gave it a 7) it is that the screenwriter didn't seem to know how to end it...
But it's worth watching just to see how well Donald Trump, Roy Cohn & Ivana Trump are portrayed... and how they are developed through the film...

The first part of this biopic is excellent. Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump is very good. He accurately portrays Trump's ambitious drive as well as the naivete of a young man not sure how to bring those ambitions to fruition. Then Trump meets Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the evil legal genius who advises him on how to fight the federal government's charges on racism in Trump's father's real estate empire. Cohn then helps him with other legal matters including getting property tax relief. Those parts of the movie are interesting and compelling with great performances by both Sebastain Stan and Jeremy Strong. In addition, Martin Donovan as Fred Trump and Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump are excellent. But then the movie rushes into the mid-1980's without much exposition or explanation. That is when the movie was a letdown for me - the time period is given short shrift by writer Gabriel Sherman as if he didn't know where to go after the interesting parts of the story with Cohn encouraging Trump's narcissism, angry rhetoric and avarice were over. And by the end of movie, you will almost feel sorry for Cohn when he realizes that he has created an even worse monster than himself. I think the movie could have been better as a mini-series (with some better writing), but I would still recommend it for the standout performances of Sebastain Stan and Jeremy Strong.
Sebastian Stan's portrayal of a young Donald Trump is so compelling that it effectively immerses the audience in the character, making it easy to forget that he is an actor. His precise use of body language and facial expressions contributes significantly to the authenticity of the characterization.
Jeremy Strong's performance as Roy Cohn is exceptional, showcasing a commanding screen presence that often eclipses that of the protagonist. His portrayal has not only captivated audiences but also successfully garnered him a new fanbase, which still would be an understatement of the impact his role has had.
Maria Bakalova's portrayal of Ivana Trump effectively captures the audience's attention whenever she appears on screen. Her nuanced performance brings depth and authenticity to the character with ability to convey both strength and vulnerability - transforming what could have been a weak link in the cast into a strong fit that enhances the overall dynamics of the ensemble.
Martin Donovan, Catherine McNally, and Ben Sullivan deliver outstanding performances as strong supporting pillars, ensuring that the narrative remains cohesive. Their contributions create a compelling backdrop that enhances the overall storytelling, making it impossible for the audience to overlook their presence.
Jeremy Strong and Sebastian Stan deliver a powerful performance as a duo, leaving a lasting impact that lingers well beyond the film's conclusion.

The Apprentice is a standard issue biopic that covers as much of Donald Trump's rise as possible. What makes it better than that sounds are the strong performances and stylish filmmaking, which elevate it into something more memorable. A supervillain origin story is an extremely fitting description for a film that's main ambition is to show how a monster was created and lost any shred of humanity that was there to begin with.
Sebastian Stan gives an amazing performance shortly after his phenomenal performance in A Different Man, proving he's the best actor currently working in and out of the MCU. He nails the look, mannerisms, and bullish personality of Trump and comes closer to looking like him as it goes along. Jeremy Strong was born to play roles like this due to his ability to convey a dominant and unflinching presence with ease, plus it's not his first time doing this either.
Ali Abbasi's direction has a strong grasp of the tone as Stan taking the final step into his Trump transformation is horrifying in more ways than one and uses Kasper Tuxen's frenetic documentary style cinematography to bring a lot of energy to the proceedings. The soundtrack contains some appropriately lively songs to keep that energy going and the score by Brian Irvine, Martin Dirkov and David Holmes doesn't sound how you'd expect, which works in its favour.

I saw this at a premiere screening and was blown away. The story is well told and accurate, which was refreshing. It was a reasonable portrayal of a fascinating man. What really got me was the acting. Sebastian Stan was phenomenal. He nailed Trump's mannerisms, and yet never fell into a caricature.
Jeremy Strong did a fantastic job of portraying Roy Cohen. The only thing that didn't quite land for me was that the character of Roy Cohen was presented as somewhat sympathetic and not as sinister and psychopathic as he actually was (not Strong's fault - that was the script). Other than that, an excellent and thought-provoking biopic.
