	DVD Review - Apt Pupil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Led by the disc’s cover artwork, I was looking at "Apt Pupil" without paying much attention to the release, expecting yet another superfluous modern teenage horror film.
		"Apt Pupil" is nevertheless a good film and the only real complaint I could have is that it is portraying the unscrupulous Nazi too sympathetic with little remorse.
		Columbia TriStar Home Video has now released "Apt Pupil" on DVD and it is another entry in their fabulous line of releases.

	Review: Apt Pupil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Apt Pupil offends because of the exploitative manner in which it addresses Holocaust- related themes.
		The way Apt Pupil appropriates one of the century's greatest tragedies for such dubious means is more than a little distasteful.
		Ostensibly, Apt Pupil is a study of the nature of evil.

	"Apt Pupil"
		Apt Pupil devotes a lot of time to hinting that its clear-eyed hero, with his sensitive lips and lithe, hairless torso, might desire something other than the standard-issue girlfriend.
		As Williams and several sociologists analyzing masochism argue,[62] the pleasures of sadomasochistic pornography (in which Apt Pupil partakes) depend on its contractuality—that is, the top somehow never exceeds the boundaries set by the bottom.
		Yet what is unique to Apt Pupil is that hypermasculinity (both Todd and Dussander have to possess properties of the Übermensch to be able to get away with what they do) is constructed as covert identification with the feminine—and emerges as an instantiation of the monstrous which is not out there but resides within us.

	'Apt Pupil' disturbs the soul
		Singer knows a lot about how to unsettle an audience, and "Apt Pupil" can be a disturbing film to watch even during some of its most dramatically weak moments.
		"Apt Pupil" chronicles the escalating series of mind games and deceits that ensue when overachieving high school student Bowden uncovers neighbor Dussander's criminal past and threatens to expose the aging Nazi's identity.
		The bizarre relationship at the center of "Apt Pupil" is one exploding with horrific and darkly comic possibilities, many of which are eagerly captured and explored by Singer, even if McKellan occasionally seems to be the only one getting it.

	Apt Pupil
		Apt Pupil is the third from that volume, and it has proved the most problematic and challenging simply because of the complexity and extremity of its vision of human degradation.
		Apt Pupil is a little more fantastical than its predecessors, but its monsters are more from the ego than the id, and kinky and fetishistic as it might be at times, it is often all too believable as a meditation upon the dynamics of power in human interrelationships.
		Apt Pupil is a film about the transcendence of power: its ability to transgress boundaries of culture, economics, gender and history.

	Apt Pupil
		His The Usual Suspects and Apt Pupil are both about evil masquerading as innocence (Verbal's tics and Todd's golden-boy reputation are plausible ruses)--they showcase morally bankrupt anti-heroes to whom telling the truth is not an option if they are to achieve their goals.
		Apt Pupil is a richer film than The Usual Suspects, a movie famous and popular partly because its plot machinations were not germane to the outcome--there was no way you could see the ending coming, as it was all a hoodwink, anyway.
		Some scenes in Apt Pupil feel overdirected and/or obvious (the dream sequences are extraneous), but the majority of the film is subdued and Singer's handling of the violent scenes is boldly restrained for a film study of a murderer and his trainee.

	Apt Pupil Brandt Sponseller Review
		The trailer--and this is echoed on the DVD box art--trumpeted Apt Pupil as something of a thriller, and the editing on the trailer suggested that there were at least some sections with a lot of action.
		To my surprise, then, I realized that Apt Pupil is an extremely complex drama, with a number of intriguing philosophical angles and no fl and white answers--as is appropriate for the material.
		Apt Pupil is a tragedy, in the formal sense, and provides ambiguity, in its ethical and relationship issues, throughout the course of the film.

	Filmtracks: Apt Pupil (John Ottman)
		Apt Pupil: (John Ottman) One of the more obscure collaborations between director Bryan Singer and composer/editor John Ottman, Apt Pupil was adapted from the same collection of Stephen King novellas as Stand By Me and The Shawshank Redemption.
		Perhaps the least effective creative touch in the Apt Pupil score is the chant of "Extradite" (by Ottman and members of his crew) during the finale cue, with the underpowered vocals begging for more substance.
		One of the weaknesses of Apt Pupil, however, is that the same level of brute force is never realized within the score itself.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- APT PUPIL
		APT PUPIL ($25) is a dark, disturbing psychological thriller from director Bryan Singer (THE USUAL SUSPECTS) about a suburban high school student who discovers a Nazi war criminal living in his neighborhood.
		APT PUPIL covers some of the same territory that Orson Welles did with his brilliant film THE STRANGER, but since this movie is based upon the Stephen King novella, you can expect it to delve into darker territory.
		APT PUPIL is not a film the holocaust, even though there is Nazi imagery throughout the film.

	Metroactive Movies \| Apt Pupil
		"Apt Pupil" is the most memorable story in the anthology and also the trickiest to adapt for the screen.
		Blessedly smart and tangy, Apt Pupil is a mature horror film that stands out proudly from a pack of cheap slasher pics; McKellen's perfumy rot satisfies a longing for elegant horror unfulfilled since Vincent Price went to his reward.
		Apt Pupil (R; 100 min.), directed by Bryan Singer, written by Brandon Boyce, based on a story by Stephen King, photographed by Newton Thomas Sigel and starring Ian McKellen and Brad Renfro.

	The Audio Revolution Review of 'Apt Pupil'
		"Apt Pupil" has two basic problems, one that's evident from the beginning and another that becomes more apparent as the film progresses.
		Also, after the intricate byplay between Todd and Dussander, "Apt Pupil" doesn't seem to know exactly how to wrap up their relationship in a way that fully addresses the issues raised throughout the film.
		In "Apt Pupil," theoretically both Dussander and Todd are heterosexual, but when Todd warns Dussander not to fuck with him, Dussander's ironic, inevitable response draws a yelp from the audience.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Apt Pupil, the movie, is adapted from "Apt Pupil," the novella in the Stephen King collection Different Seasons, which has already spawned Stand By Me and The Shawshank Redemption.
		With such good predecessors, it stands to reason that Apt Pupil (the movie) was greeted with both high expectations and a certain wary scepticism upon its release.
		One aspect of Apt Pupil which will surely be the topic of conversation for years to come is the presumed "homosexualization" of the story.

	APT PUPIL/ *1/2
		Singer's new film, "Apt Pupil", is based on a short story from Stephen King's "Different Seasons", the same book that inspired "Stand By Me" and "The Shawshank Redemption".
		After Todd and Dussander first meet, the film instantly skips to "one month later", and although we're given the knowledge that their exchanges have become frequent, it would be better to watch that relationship grow for ourselves.
		Ultimately, all "Apt Pupil" has to offer is the same morbid fascination as Renfro's character.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Apt Pupil
		Apt Pupil is the story of a brilliant high school student -- a high school senior at 16 -- and the results of his obsession with Nazi atrocities.
		When he discovers a war criminal living in his home community a bond is built between the boy and man, which will have consequences like you won't believe.
		Apt Pupil provides nothing to clue you in to the whys and wherefore of Todd's obsession, which is why Cranky's foot was doing a tap dance by the end of the first Act, waiting for the Stephen King nasties (the screenplay is based on a King novella) to kick in.

	Apt Pupil . Metro Pulse . 11-02-98
		In its first 20 minutes, Apt Pupil is one of the most daring mainstream movies of recent memory.
		Apt Pupil's most horrific scene occurs within the first half hour, after which the movie takes a hard turn away from the unfathomable banality of evil and into mere banality.
		At this point Apt Pupil bends away from its creepy musings on evil and becomes a fairly standard thriller.

	Apt Pupil by John Ottman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Apt Pupil is an exceptional, emotionally penetrating score to a piercing examination of the darker shades of the human soul.
		Even in the suspenseful, ambient cues, there is a rhythm and a purpose to the notes, an intuitive connection to the story that makes it an intriguing listen.
		An invigorating and inviting musical experience, Apt Pupil is a eloquent masterpiece from the first note to the last.

		Whatever his subject may be, the bottom line is the director is fascinated by the thick, fl tendrils that make up that less pleasant side of human behavior.
		And as for Apt Pupil, I read that when I was a boy, and I thought there's an interesting relationship.
		Apt Pupil has the potential of being a relentlessly downbeat story from start to finish.

	Apt Pupil
		That film is a lot different from Apt, so it is probably better for the Apt Pupil's ratings to be released on the weekend of the 23rd.
		On his report card, he is called an "apt pupil." But then one day, Todd finds out that there is someone he believes to be an ex-Nazi living in his suburban Southern California town.
		In addition to Apt Pupil, McKellen plays an openly gay film director (yikes!) in "Gods and Monsters", which was part of the New York Film Festival and opened November 4.

	Apt Pupil Review (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Apt Pupil of the title is Todd Bowman (Brad Renfro), a spoiled, high achieving high school senior, who suspects that an elderly neighbour, Arthur Denker (Ian McKellen), might just be a wanted Nazi criminal, Kurt Dussander.
		Apt Pupil is another in a long line of psychological dramas that pits the hunter against the hunted, the fox and hound, a cat and mouse; with the ultimate contest pitting one highly intelligent human against another, and the ultimate prize being dominate control.
		Apt Pupil is that rare movie that makes an appearance of unmeasured access to itself and leaves as quickly.

	DVD Verdict Review - Apt Pupil
		But, Apt Pupil certainly came much closer than previous movies.
		Apt Pupil centers around 16-year old honors student Todd Bowden (Brad Renfro) whose interest in the Holocaust is piqued in his sociology class.
		Apt Pupil is a good film and definitely agrees with its genre as a drama and thriller.

	APT PUPIL movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
		Alas, Apt Pupil is Singer's new and much less interesting film.
		Instead, we get bizarre behavior (Dussander tries to stuff a stray cat into his kitchen oven) and uncomfortable conversations between Bowden and his high school guidance counselor (David Schwimmer) about why the lad's grades are falling.
		If Bowden's motivations were clearer, or if he'd had some sort of enlightened change of heart about the elderly psycho, Apt Pupil might have gone somewhere interesting.
