In a rundown area of Buenos Aires, at the dawn of the 1980s, Adrian LeDuc owns both a struggling movie theater and a shabby apartment building filled with eccentric, squabbling tenants. To make ends meet, Adrian takes in a roommate, Jack Carney, but soon begins to suspect that the quiet American is responsible for a series of political assassinations that are rocking the city.

7/10

I was quite excited about Apartment Zero, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. It felt like it was trying a bit too hard to seem deep—throwing in political twists that were very heavily foreshadowed, that ending up as a distraction from the juicy psychological drama I wanted more of. The slow pace had me checking my watch a few times; instead of being intriguing, it tipped into melodrama. Still, Colin Firth was fantastic as Adrian, perfectly twitchy and awkward, and Hart Bochner brought just enough charm and creepiness to keep things lively. Plus Dora Bryan and Liz Smith popped up adding some fun and eccentricity. Not amazing, but their performances made it worthwhile.
