Zipper (5.7) vs Escort (5.9) ratings
I just watched both these prostitution flicks released this year, and it struck me how totally confusing the IMDB rating was to me.
They both have basicallly the same amount of voters and about the same rating. So it makes you think they are about equally good. But to me Zipper was very interesting and well made, and Escort was just an awful fairy tale.
I know that the prostitution is about the only thing these two movies have in common. (well maybe sexaddiction as well) Still as so many times before it strikes me how some poor movies get good ratings and some good ones bad ratings.
I guess it's because Escort has a "feel good ending" that sort of makes people like it more? I know it's difficult to compare movies of different genres though. But I found zipper superior in practically every sense.
