More

Credits

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

By Hannah Tucker

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.''
