Joseph, an airport security officer who struggles with his stressful job and his difficult parents, breaks from his dull, miserable life and goes on a wild, criminal spree across London, beginning with an impromptu bank heist. The film follows Joseph's escalating, erratic behavior as his psyche breaks down under mounting pressure.
Very tense film. Surge has lots of moments that are hard to sit through but impossible to look away. It manages to make you question how much of your day to day decisions are balanced between your true desires and societal expectations, and what you'd be capable of if, like the main character, you decided to live on impulse and instinct.
