Knowing who directed this and the suggestive material, makes it even more disturbing.

Brad Renfro died way too young. It's painful to think, especially with young and talented performers, where their careers would be now if they were still here. It's sad to think about.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Apt Pupil’:

1. It’s difficult to enjoy a movie when the lead characters are extraordinarily unlikeable.

2. This is one of those films that inspire the oh-so-unfortunate post-screening thought: what was the point? Renfro’s character didn’t evolve into anything new. He was loony from the start. No journey there. I didn’t find their “outsmarting each other” relationship very compelling. I didn’t feel any stakes. I didn’t care about his grades. The girlfriend, the best friend... both basically filler. It just all felt a bit long and disconnected.

3. This probably works better as the novella it was intended to be, or even a single Twilight Zone episode.
