At 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 as it reveals Rahim s buried rage and guilt over his occupation and Aiman's ambivalence when offered the chance to step into his new boss' shoes. --Stephen Holden, The New York Times (Critics' Pick)
The past is a noose around the neck of both death row inmates and those who pull the hangman's lever in Apprentice, Boo Junfeng's mysterious and nuanced prison drama. - Nick Schager, The Village Voice (Voice Choice)
Tightly focused and ambitious in its multiple themes... --Lisa Nesselson, Screen Daily
