AptP
6/05: I hate Brad Renfro and Ian McKellen, and to my misfortune, they both appear in Apt Pupil.

It's hard to say which of the two is more odious. The story is too implausible to believe. A meek, naïve kid asserts his control over a former Nazi officer because of what happened during World War II.

So, what's the worst that could happen? History shows most former Nazis who got caught many years afterwards to be tried for war crimes were rarely given serious punishment. Hey, Ian. Enough is enough with Nazism. Let...it...go.

All in all, the premise of Apt Pupil has my eyes rolling.
