There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

THIRST is probably the most boring movie called THIRST. It's a wannabe-environmental disaster movie that would like to be thought of in the same breath as OUTBREAK, except as a small-budgeted TV movie it's lacking in every respect and just doesn't pass muster as a thriller.The major problem with this film is that it's so boring! A plot about an outbreak of deadly bacteria in a small town's water supply has the potential for much incident and high drama, but instead the writers (and there are too many of them) strive to make this as mundane as possible. Scenes of people dying from poisoned water are filmed in such a hokey way that I was laughing at them, as cruel as that sounds.The acting is routine and the characters even more routine, and have seemingly been picked out of a box of stereotypes. There's the heroic engineer character, who wouldn't you know it is a loving family man on the side; his glamorous wife, who happens to be a crusading doctor on the side; the evil mayor, who ignores warnings and does all in his power to cover everything up. And so it goes on.There's barely no drama, no characters to like or care about, nothing that hasn't been paraded out a zillion times already. In fact, there's no reason to like THIRST, as even by the shoddy standards of made-for-TV disaster movies it's a real timewaster.

This movie Lifetime TV during the week that hurricane Katrina ravished the Louisiana coastline. Usually, when I watch these movies, I just watch them. But this particular day, it made me cry when the military brought the tanker truck in with water on the back and all the citizens were turning the truck over to get to the bottles of water. Even when the bottles were bursting on the ground, and the dog was licking it up out of the cracks of the sidewalk, art just imitated life a little too close for me that day.Other than that, I found it quite interesting (for a Lifetime movie.) Usually, they include some rich, white woman whose perfect life is shattered by a horrible secret, a best friend who sleeps with their husband, or and evil child they gave up years ago who has returned very bitter.

ThirstA chemical engineer struggles to find a way to kill a deadly parasite that has infiltrated a town's water supply.Let's face it: 'Thirst' is an extremely silly film, and there's a few too many movements in the plot that would have absolutely no chance of occurring in that thing called the real world (a world which I'm sure seems alien to Hollywood at times). But while 'Thirst' is very nearly mediocre, I already feel like I'm raining on the parade of the film, as it's just too hard not to become marginally interested in the mayhem that ensues. 'Thirst' is a very run-of-the-mill production, even for a television movie, but it gets by thanks to its sheer energy. It's a small guilty pleasure, but there's some downright irritating acting from a sizeable portion of the cast here, and this partially bulldozes the arid thrills of 'Thirst'.~ 6/10 ~

This disaster movie is not like other disaster movies. Other disaster movies tend to follow a very rigid structure and not stray from it.First we meet the primary characters and we get to know them through scenes of "everyday life".Then the secondary characters whose "lives will be changed forever" are introduced.Lastly the "enemy" is introduced. Mostly in the form of the mighty bureaucrat who won't evacuate the city or close the beaches or whatever.This movie introduces one secondary character and uses tertiary characters for all the "unwashed masses" who are just supposed to die anyway. This enables the movie to concentrate on the efforts of the hero(es) to fix the situation and not have to show a lot of pointless drivel about dogs trapped in rain pipes and children being caught under buses.Plus, the characters are actually well drawn and the story is somewhat believable.I was entertained for an hour and a half and that's really the point, right?
