There is an Apt. complex in Argentina, all the inhabitants are aware of each other, and everything is calm...until HE arrives. Colin Firth is leading this cast in predictably twisted independent film about lies and deceit, maybe even a little romance, depending on how you look at it. Bochner plays his "Hart" out as the dark stranger we all know to be the opposite of who he says. The two strike up a friendship beyond what we know as two normal guys hitting the town. Soon, questions arise, things begin to happen, and secrets are revealed! Yes, this one makes a mess in the last hour, going through all the normal kinks of a suspense genre. Firth and Bochner have great chemistry, and some of the story-telling isn't half bad, but the flick goes for such a raunchy ending, you can't really digest the final moment. Strangely enough, this little indie has a cult following about 15 years after its release. A pre-Fight Club, Apartment Zero is an attention getter, but nothing more beyond that...
