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

Lurid and cheesy and sometimes unintentionally funny.

Zipper takes its sleaze seriously, which isn't quite the same thing as actually caring about it.

Too much of the feature is devoted to condom unwrapping, not an excavation into the black heart of personal excess.

[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.

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

Mr. Wilson, as dexterous with righteous bravado as with calibrated self-disgust, ably captures Sam's growing enslavement to his impulses.

Zipper is yet another political thriller laced with adultery, but despite Patrick Wilson's surefire performance, it's not a particularly interesting one.

What "Zipper" lacks in depth it makes up in interesting, morally shaded supporting characters.
