Apprentice is written/directed by Junfeng Boo and stars Firdaus Rahman, Wan Hanafi Su and Mastura Ahmad.

The film’s premise is an interesting one that centres around a Malay correctional officer called Aiman, a young man who ends up working alongside the long serving executioner of the maximum security prison he’s recently been transferred to.

Aiman is not the executioner’s apprentice by accident, the two are connected in a way that at first, only Aiman is aware of but once the executioner finds out, which he does, it should make for very interesting viewing indeed.

I’m so eager to see how this story unfolds, for reasons including the dilemma of the protagonist, and the fact that ‘executioner’ is a job title I don’t think I could ever take on. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean I don’t want to know how others can make peace with such a ‘calling’.

Apprentice Release Dates: March 3rd, 2017 (US)…

Happy Film Loving,
