Aiman is a 28-year-old Malay correctional officer who is recently transferred to the territory's top prison. He lives with his older sister Suhaila in a modest housing estate. At his new workplace, Aiman begins to take an interest in a 65-year-old sergeant named Rahim. Soon, it is revealed that the charismatic Rahim is actually the long-serving chief executioner of the prison. Rahim also takes notice of the principled and diligent Aiman. When Rahim's assistant suddenly quits, he asks Aiman to become his apprentice. Aiman tells Suhaila of his new job position, but Suhaila becomes upset, as their father was actually executed by Rahim. Aiman knew this all along. Can Aiman overcome his conscience and a haunted past to possibly take over as the next chief executioner?

Movie Reviews

Shockya.com - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenA compelling, minimalist look, dark in spirit as well as in lighting, seen from the point of view of the apprentice to a hangman in Singapore.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Andrea GronvallBenoit Soler's fluid, revolving camera frequently visualizes what the main character can't verbalize, and writer-director Boo Junfeng treats his thorny topic with sensitivity, but the pat ending is a letdown.
Cinencuentro - 8/10 by Carlos EsquivesA film that explores the moral behaviors that become unpredictable within societies that modulate the preliminary concepts and that extends to the extremely strict reasoning of the state regulations applied in prisons. [Full review in Spanish]
AwardsCircuit.com - 8/10 by Shane SlaterJunfeng presents the grim world of the executioner to suitably unnerving effect.
The Straits Times (Singapore) - 7/10 by John LuiMood is also Boo's strong suit and that is gained in large part through the use of real prison locations in New South Wales, Australia.
Cinema Scope - 7/10 by James LattimerGiven its complete lack of non-essential components, there's nothing to anchor Apprentice in the mind once the plot has run its course.
New York Times - 6/10 by Stephen HoldenAt first Apprentice seems to be a basic revenge film in which Aiman stalks the man who killed his father. But it becomes psychologically more complex.
The New Paper (Singapore) - 6/10 by Joanne SohThis beautifully shot film lets you dwell on the relationship between Aiman and Rahim, which is well played by the two actors.
User Review - 8/10 by Melvin TIt's a very simple story but so multi-layered. Really like the way it's executed (no pun intended), tho some scenes were hard to watch... great job Boo Junfeng!
User Review - 6/10 by Nilufer EIt was an intense movie in which you keep waiting for something drastic to happen but it never does, however the acting was good and it was an original movie. Wouldn't watch it twice though.
