    Just finished reading the book and I was wondering if the film is any good. I loved the book but im not expecting the film to as good.

    I've not read the book, but the film is ok. Ian McKellen is fantastic in it though.

    It's definitely worth a look. I enjoyed it, though the book is better as is virtually always the case.

    Yep Apt Pupil is a good watch. And as Karl says Ian McKellen is very very good in it.

    Low point of the film is David Schwimmer's moustace !!! OUCH

    Oh god... I think I had a mental block on images of David Schwimmer's Stache that you just broke! I hate you now, Gandalf!

    Just watched it again (recorded off TV3 a month ago). One of the best movies I've ever watched. Its always on after 12:00AM though which it doesn't deserve.

    Highly recommended!

    Unlike most "Apt Pupilers" I saw the movie first and only read the story later (which I loved - esp all the plotting and blackmail). I wasn't too impressed by the movie anyway but am going to give it another watch on the strength of the book.
