Zipper wants to be sleazy political thriller. It stars Patrick Wilson as a sex addicted state prosecutor Sam Ellis who is being groomed to climb the political ladder.Ellis has a loving wife, Jeannie (Lena Headey) whose powerful and wealthy family has the political connections that her husband needs.Sam quickly goes from internet porn to using an high class exclusive escort agency which is under investigation by the FBI. A suspicious journalist Coaker (Ray Winstone) threatens to expose Ellis's infidelities.Wilson once again goes out on a limb as a charming but shady character who in the end might still have not learned from his mistakes.He is hampered by a spotty script which goes nowhere apart from pleading that politicians are just like ordinary citizens with weaknesses. However politicians have a irritating habit of telling people how to live their lives despite their own moral shortcomings and when they get caught, they can use their power and wealth to keep it hidden.

This film tells the story of a married lawyer with a promising political career, who gets side tracked by experiences with ladies from an escort agency."Zipper" keeps me engaged because the I like the story. The first half is more erotic while the second half is more of a thriller. How Patrick Wilson does a good job portraying his character, who lets his urges overtake his sensibility. His guilt in the diner with the reporter is piercingly good. I think the story is well presented, easy to follow and engaging. The scenes are nicely shot as well. I enjoyed watching "Zipper"!

Somewhat typical drama about another rich and powerful man becomes a hypocrite. The difference with this film is that just about everyone else in the film is a hypocrite as well.What the film does well... the acting, cinematography, and the script (to an extent). I do enjoy nudity, and this movie does do it in a way that isn't over the top and overly graphic. The problems I had with the film were that it's another film about how rich and powerful men do pretty much whatever they want and get away with it, while all the women in the film are weak "whores". They get what they want by using sex, be it for drugs or power, and in the end it still gives the impression that's all they are really good for, which is surprising being that the film was directed by a woman. While it does deliver a message that you can be a "whore" in more ways than just having sex for money, it still doesn't exactly "punish" the hypocrites, but rather seems to blame the weak. Which, I suppose, is what life is actually like. I found myself feeling only for one character, and that was Jennifer. It isn't because she is gorgeous (which she is, but so were just about all the women), but because she was the one that not only was the most innocent, but also the one that was taken advantage of the most. And when Ellis had the chance to help her, he chose rather to treat her even less like an escort and more like a streetwalker, especially after seeing that she had a drug problem and exploiting that weakness. But even after she made clear that she actually liked him, and even after he treated her like a hooker, she still showed some real emotion and humanity. What makes the scene even more powerful is that is shows that Ellis is even more of an addict, yet is still the one in power and control. If the aim of the film was to cast a light on how misogynistic hypocrites can continue their addictions without any real recourse since some one (in particular, a woman) will come to their "rescue" by whoring themselves, then this movie did a great job. I gave the 8 stars based solely on the fact that the film was very well done technically and the acting was worthy of praise, but the ending fell flat and just played into more stereotypes, which even independent films are falling prey to now.

women reviews all agree that men are pegs! o k leave them in illusion ! one of my married friends always explain men's urge for other women by comparing women with fruits suppose you like apples so you married an apple but after you get full of apples won't you feel the urge to try bananas? what about oranges? watermelon? raspberry ? .....etc! women always blame men that they look to other women's hot spots hey & what man doesn't? it's nature baby wake up. so women has to be smart wives has to change herself with time. apples don't have to remain apples for life they can disguise as oranges sometimes too ! first we see the eager & the fire inside the man when he looks to his office girl colleagues & once again this is totally natural. the movie makes it all clear when we see the master scene sex between the man & his boss sorry his wife! this movie is a wake up signal for wives to wake up before it's too late!
