Alan S. gave it a 7:
ZigZag_was based on a true story, and the film does in fact reek of authenticities lesser films wouldnt bother with: Lewis full-body shaking when hes 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. The truth is in the details, and director Goyers eye for the little things should earn ZigZag a good deal of praise. Its a modest, unglamorous film, with a great soundtrack I may add, filled with compelling performances that were coaxed out of his actors for a fraction of their usual asking fees.
