Simply A Masterpiece

How sad is this?

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I was expecting a much more exciting and original ending, it had a good build up, but left feeling it wasn't much of a thriller in the end. Lena's reaction to the whole situation was typical of a suburban housewife something she claimed she wasn't. You can easily give this one a miss. Watch conjuring 2 for a Great Patrick Wilson performance, he didn't seem a good fit for this role in my opinion.

A successful family man with a blossoming political career loses all sense of morality when he becomes addicted to using an escort agency. The Trailer for this film seemed like it was going to be some big political scandal and turn out to be a great thriller full of suspense, unfortunately the movie sucked badly with sex scenes and porn in general being the big plot and story of this film and with some pretty great actors such as Lena Headey, Patrick Wilson, Ray Winstone and Richard Dreyfuss get totally wasted in awful roles especially Wilson who was dumb as hell. I'm going to give Zipper a 3.0 out of 10 it's really not worth your time and your money.

I'm a big fan of Patrick Wilson, but hadn't seen him entirely carry a film before, so was interested to see how he would go at it in 'Zipper'. As I expected he was up to the task. He has a way of being very natural and easy to watch on screen without seemingly having to do too much. The roles I'd mostly seen him in prior to this were him playing the straight guy, with the exception of 'Hard Candy', where he had a very intriguing character indeed, and presented him masterfully. He's an underrated actor that doesn't always get the credit he deserves, but hopefully films like 'Zipper' give people a chance to see his abilities shine through.The film itself is interesting enough. It deals with the subject of adultery, much like the 2002 film 'Unfaithful' but fails to have the same impact and memorability that that one had. The reason I think is a bit of a case of "seen it all before". People in high powered jobs are frequently portrayed to be having affairs (often with little to no consequence) and so the subject has become a little run of the mill. The popular TV series at the moment 'House of Cards' will be doing that stereotype no favours. There are some thought-provoking moments and well acted scenes that do make this a worthwhile watch however. The final scene is also sure to raise a few discussions among viewers. Solid, but never steps it up to the next level.

I had this movie sitting in my drive for awhile. I knew about the premise (i.e. some hot shot lawyer who cheats repeatedly on his wife) and I wasn't interest.Well...after seeing it, this is overall a good movie because of the strong performances and some semi-provocative little twists near the end that, although predictable, they show some hard truths about the values of the world we are living and how easy is to disavow our values for things that are in the end meaningless.Despite the numerous sexual encounters of the main character the film is not erotic or sensual but focuses into his fear and his inner struggle with his newly developed passion that might cost him everything, his job, his family.But the world we are living ...it is what it is, and in the end, everyone will play the role that he or she supposed to play...Overall: Check it out.
