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.
