“The Apprentice” isn’t really about building an empire. It’s about learning how to manufacture influence in 1970s and 1980s New York, one shady compromise at a time. A young millionaire heir wants power more than he wants actual good decisions, so he teams up with Roy Cohn. This is not a mentor in the wholesome sense. Roy Cohn, tied to Joseph McCarthy’s political world, has a talent for getting things done off the books. The movie has two modes: courtroom drama and backroom deal-making. One minute it’s about Trump’s racist rental politics. The next, it’s hustling with major corporations, unions, and even the Mafia to keep him rising in a brutal real estate market, despite a total lack of business instinct. True-story vibes. Rotten Tomatoes liked it. Metascore is more cautious. You’ll probably land somewhere in between.
----------
„The Apprentice“ schaut Donald Trump nicht beim Erfolg zu. Sondern dabei, wie man Erfolg organisiert, indem man Regeln so lange biegt, bis sie wie Deko-Lack aussehen. Die Story springt in die New Yorker Jahre, in denen ein junger Millionenerbe mehr von Macht träumt als von Immobilien. Und weil Traum und Realität nicht dieselbe Sprache sprechen, holt er sich Roy Cohn ins Boot. Der ehemalige Berater des republikanischen Hardliners Joseph McCarthy ist so was wie ein Schatten-Upgrade. Vor Gericht geht’s gegen Vorwürfe rund um rassistische Vermietungspolitik. Daneben laufen Hinterzimmerdeals mit Konzernen, Gewerkschaften und ja, auch mit der Mafia. Clever, dreckig, ziemlich ungeniert. Wenn du Lust auf einen Film hast, der die Mechanik von Einfluss zeigt, ohne sie schönzureden: einschalten.
