Description:
A lonely waitress with a tragic past, Agnes (Judd) rooms in a run-down motel, living in fear of her abusive, recently paroled ex-husband (Connick Jr.). But when Agnes begins a tentative romance with Peter (Shannon), an eccentric, nervous drifter, she starts to feel hopeful again - until the first bugs arrive...
Amazon.com:
William (The Exorcist, The French Connection) Friedkin directed this harrowing portrait of slow-boiling paranoia about a lonely waitress (Ashley Judd) whose world spirals out of control after meeting a charismatic but damaged drifter (Michael Shannon). Said drifter fills the gulf of loneliness that has swallowed Agnes (Judd) whole as she struggles to stay afloat in a backwater desert town; gradually, Shannon reveals that his stint as a soldier in the Middle East has left him infested with microscopic bugs that he believes are part of a government conspiracy. The force of his conviction (combined with the horrific physical self-abuse he endures) slowly persuade Agnes that she, too, is infested, and the pair undergo a gruesome mental and physical meltdown. Based on the theatrical production by Tracey Letts (who also wrote the screenplay), Bug has a hard time escaping its stage origins (much of the action takes place in one dingy motel room), but Friedkin ramps up the intensity to near uncomfortable levels, and Judd and Shannon (recreating his performances in the New York and London productions) are more than up to the challenge. Their fearless turns are well-matched by Harry Connick, Jr., as Agnes' creepy ex-husband and Brian F. O'Byrne as a medic who may or may not be part of Shannon's shadowy government cabal. Viewers should be forewarned that the violence is intense and often bloody; those that find insects unsettling should avoid at all costs. -- Paul Gaita

"I make people nervous," says Peter Evans.
"Why's that?" Aggie White asks.
"'Cause I pick up on things, I think. It makes people uncomfortable."
"Pick up on things?"
"Things not apparent," Peter says.
With that, William Friedkin and screenwriter Tracy Letts, working from Letts' play, put us in the middle of an intense and controlled descent into madness. Bug may be a one-theme movie placed almost exclusively in a small, two room set, but thanks to Friedkin, Michael ... Read More

BUG (2007) with Ashley Judd (AJ), Harry Connick Jr and Michael Shannon is an example that art
can be beautiful or intentionally ugly being reflective of reality, and still maintain the
fascination of viewers. Granted, perhaps this work is meant for the niche segment of
AJ fans, while the actress reprises her type-cast role as a young woman having
behavioral issues, put againt impressive challenges, risks and obstacles, coping with a
fragile emotional makeup.

Despite its title that sounds like a B-horror film, "Bug" is not a horror movie and you won't see flesh-eating creatures attacking humans. Instead, in William Friedkin's "Bug," paranoia reigns in a run-down motel room. When Agnes White (Ashley Judd), a lonely and nervous waitress, afraid of her abusive ex-husband, meets a war veteran Peter Evans (Michael Shannon), who believes a curious theory about the "bugs," their relationship triggers something deep inside him, and her - a spiral process in which their ...

After watching in shock to completion, I sat in silence thinking about any other film I have ever seen in my 45 years on the planet that was worse. I could think of none. This has to be a bad joke, maybe a satirical finger-in-the-eye of the movie going public because I can think of no other reason why this dreck was written, financed, and produced. I can usually find something redeeming in any film, but this one is a record breaker as there is absolutely nothing redeeming about it, nothing. Horrible acting, ... Read More

This movie isn't for the faint of heart for two reasons. First, there are scenes of an unbelievable, savage violence, one of a kind you won't see anywhere else. But, where the movie really gets under your skin is that it just seems so true, so possible, so reminiscent of things you and I have done often and are possibly doing this very moment. In fact, I feel this movie poses the question of the "human problem" better and more profoundly than any other piece of art I've ever seen, including those that claim to be ... Read More
