DVD Review

Apartment Zero (2007)

Details Release Date: Feb 20, 2007; DVD Release Date: Feb 20, 2007; Movie Rated: R; Genre: Mystery and Thriller; With: Hart Bochner and Colin Firth

A Norman Bates-esque Firth gets a roommate (Bochner) who's charming, jowly, and possibly a government assassin. Intrusive melodramatic flourishes notwithstanding (beware ominous piano chords!), Apartment Zero displays a rich and morbid sense of humor.
EXTRAS consist of two excellent commentaries — one from co-writer David Koepp and ''special guest'' Steven Soderbergh, the other from Martin Donovan (Death Becomes Her), who happily credits indulgent directorial moments to his inner ''film student trying to be smart.''
