Episode Twenty One-Bryan Singer's Apt Pupil Review

In this week's review, I examine Bryan Singer's post-The Usual Suspects/pre-X-Men project, the adaptation of Stephen King's short story, Apt Pupil.  If you've reviewed last week's episode, then you know I thought it was a tense, deeply disturbing examination of hate and control.  In it, Stephen King created his most horrendous villain to date with the character, Todd Bowden.  
Is Bryan Singer able to match Stephen King? 
Is Brad Renfro able to embody the awful characteristics of King's twisted creation?
Is Ian McKellen . . . ?  Yes, Ian McKellen is awesome.  
Stick around and listen to my thoughts on Bryan Singer's Apt Pupil!
