Trump Unauthorized

Although Justin Louis has a lean and hungry look that's altogether missing from the man he impersonates, I suppose that somewhere inside the peacock puffiness of the Masterbuilder there's a love-starved little boy.

Too boring. Take the Trump element out and you're left with a mundane film. <em>'Trump Unauthorized'</em> is a Donald Trump biopic, way before his time as president of the United States; it even precedes his time on <em>'The Apprentice'</em>. As a biographical film, it's alright. It details the early years of Trump with interest, even if it more than likely exaggerates/uses creative licence - as the majority of biopics tend to do. Louis Ferreira (formerly Justin Louis) is fairly decent as the titular character. I don't know much about Trump from this era, yet I still recognized the little traits and mannerisms that Ferreira brings. He's solid in the role. None of the other cast standout at all, though it's hard to ignore Katheryn Winnick as Ivana - mainly thanks to that awful accent. I have no idea if it's a too complimentary on Trump or the opposite, I only judge a film as a film. In those terms, it's very forgettable despite not being absolutely terrible.
