    ZigZag_was based on a true story, and the film does in fact reek of authenticities lesser films wouldn?t bother with: Lewis? full-body shaking when he?s processing strong emotions, his boss? utter political incorrectness (calling Lewis ?Ricky Retardo? and the black investigating officer ?Sherlock Homie?) you wonder if mainstream films would dare depict, and an unexpected ending that is both completely plausible and not insufferably clever.

    Might have been richer and more observant if it were less densely plotted. The characters would resonate more if there were fewer of them, and if they were not pushed through so many contrived dramatic incidents.

    The character of ZigZag is not sufficiently developed to support a film constructed around him.
