Amy Goodman’s interviews with director Ali Abbasi piqued my curiosity; I rented The Apprentice from #ScarecrowVideo here in Seattle last week; it exceeded my expectations. Who knew Roy Cohn could end up the moral center of 1980’s NYC except as portrayed by Jeremy Strong? Sebastian Stans’s performance is brilliant. Other actors are very strong. Details: marquee title lights flicker as from neglect. Fake zirconia. Taking a powder.

The Apprentice | Rotten Tomatoes
A young Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan), eager to make his name as a hungry second son of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé -- someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win.
