[It] plays like one of those sections in certain House of Cards episodes that feel cheap and easy and trashy. For a minute or two it's fun, before it quickly becomes laborious and grating.

It's a muddled tale of sexual obsession that's both predictable and ridiculous, although Wilson brings some depth to his performance.

Another cautionary yarn about a political hopeful whose adulterous behavior catches up with him, Mora Stephens' "Zipper" hits a snag from the get-go.
September 02, 2015
Zipper is yet another political thriller laced with adultery, but despite Patrick Wilson's surefire performance, it's not a particularly interesting one.

Mr. Wilson, as dexterous with righteous bravado as with calibrated self-disgust, ably captures Sam's growing enslavement to his impulses.
August 27, 2015
Lurid and cheesy and sometimes unintentionally funny.
August 27, 2015
Zipper takes its sleaze seriously, which isn't quite the same thing as actually caring about it.

[Zipper is] clumsily structured with poorly drawn characters ... it's ugly, boring, and a complete waste of time.
