Sebastian Stan, Jeremy Strong Are Compelling In Insightful Tale On Rise Of Young Donald Trump
After Santosh, The Apprentice is the second film releasing on Lionsgate Play that didn’t receive a theatrical release in India because of censor issues. Ali Abbasi’s Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice is almost overshadowed by another man, Jeremy Strong’s Roy Cohn. Set in the 1970s, the drama follows young Donny’s journey into becoming Donald Trump, ably played by Sebastian Stan, who subtly gives glimpses of the businessman and future president used to cutting corners to get ahead.
Jeremy Strong delivers stand out performance in Abbasi's film on Donald Trump
Former United States president and presidential candidate Donald Trump went on a rant recently on filmmaker Ali Abbasi’s latest film The Apprentice, which narrates the Republican’s initial years as a real estate giant in New York and his relationship with attorney Roy Cohn. Perhaps, Trump’s reaction stems from information that is fed to him because had he watched the film, he may have only objected to certain aspects of Abbasi’s provocative film and not ranted about it in its entirety.
