Bug

Bug is a dark comedy set in a seedy Oklahoma City motel room, where Agnes, a divorced waitress with a fondness for isolation and cocaine, is hiding from her ex-con ex-husband. Her lesbian biker friend, R.C., introduces her to Peter, a handsome drifter who might be an AWOL Gulf War veteran. Peter begins to rant about the war in Iraq, UFOs, the Oklahoma City bombings, cult suicides, and then secret government experiment on soldiers, of which he believes he is a victim. His delusions infect Agnes and the tension mounts as mysterious strangers appear at their door, past events haunt them at every turn and they are attacked by bugs. Tracy Letts’s tale of love, paranoia, and government conspiracy is a thought-provoking psycho-thriller that mixes terror and laughter at a fever pitch.
