Assistant to the hangman

 

Apprentice (2016)


Written & directed by Boo Junfeng this film stars Firdaus Rahman and Wan Hanahfi Su. A prison officer in Singapore becomes assistant to the chief executioner.


I found this to be a unique look a the death penalty from the point of view of the people that have to do the killing. Grounded and realistic the film never overtly pushes its agenda. Very much enjoyable and worth seeking out.


4/5
