Urge: Rausch ohne Limit

It's a weird one, but a cool one.

Pierce Brosnan plays a unique pusher man who gives a group of young people a drug that will let you know what it feels like to live without the boundaries of society holding you back for one night only.

Danny Masterson plays a man who is part of the one percent and wants to supply his friends with the drug for more than one night.

The problem is when you take a drug more than once it gives you total freedom to do whatever you feel like with no regrets and to have a world with no boundaries is a dangerous one.

The beauty of the film is how messed up these people got. It was well acted when these people just started doing what they wanted.

Best way to watch it, is to cling to the person in the film you most relate too (their was this one girl who after taking the drug twice wondered what it would be like to smash a Kim Kardashian type's head into a window for being annoying, so she did)

Also giving mad points to the great music in the film that really set the tone and was super impressive, making up for the not so great cinematography.

Urge you to see it.

I'm not sure why I even gave it the score of 2. Perhaps because I've seen worse. So, this is not the worst, but goes in the categories: "waste of time", "should have never been made", "why and which audience was it made for" and alike. The story could have been intriguing and interesting, but the director got very lost in telling it. It's your typical: friends getting together desperate to have the best time of their lives and guess what? Something goes wrong. Just like the summary says, but fails to evoke the plot holes, unfinished scenes, no explanations, no consistency. Oh, it's a mess. You expect orgy, but nothing is shown. And in my opinion, Ashley Greene stands out as doing the worst job in acting. Actually, when it starts, it looks like the beginning of a porn movie. Acting and script are that bad. I really wanted to see what will happen, but as it became more and more predictable, I just wanted it to end. And boy, what an end??!! There's nothing to enjoy: acting, script, dialogues, story, direction,... I guess you have to see it to believe it.

The movie revolves around a group of friends taking a drug that evaporates all inhibitions. So far so good.

This interesting premise and some artsy scenes are pretty much all there is to this flick. The whole rest, nearly all of its runtime is just wasted time - sadly to say at least.

The rather well known actors seem like caricatures - there is overacting and underacting - never consistent, never convincing. The only one that seems to enjoy his role is Pierce Brosnan, actually I would consider his performance one of the highlights in this movie.

The personalities of the characters are plainly sketched and clichés of group dynamics are just thrown in your face. Interesting deeper relationships or conflicts are strangely lacking.

Direction is uninspired - the proclaimed outrageousness that the premise promises is not found in the movie - instead you get minutes of quite uninteresting party scenes that do not even convey the party vibe and even lack the uneasiness it should deliver as it foreshadows the very foreseeable events.

Even if you want to watch this expecting to see some raunchy scenes like a good B-movie might offer you - you will be disappointed. Sadly this movie is actually a time waster. Granted with an interesting premise and some nice Pierce Bronsnan scenes and even a couple of art-house scenes - but very underwhelming as such.

It's a very odd film, it has an interesting premise, some great visuals, but ultimately just doesn't really hit the mark. I love the idea behind the film, it's a drug that can only be used once, any further uses will lead to destruction, and of course the curiosity of human nature meant they were always going to push it further. I lost it a bit towards the end, as it went off on a tangent, and I failed to understand Pierce Brosnan's character and purpose, although I did enjoy his performance.

I did stick with it, as it had some interesting scenes, but it's not a film I'd want to watch for a second time.

Not terrible, but definitely not good.

I was quite surprised to see a pretentious self righteous review for this movie and after having watched it I can only conclude that the reviewer must have been confused about what they were reviewing.

The movie centers around the premise of the hedonistic lifestyle of a wealthy individual Neil (Danny Masterson) who takes pleasure in indulging himself and his group of friends with the best experiences that money can buy.

An excursion to a luxury home on island includes a trip to an exotic night club that has a sexy stylized feel similar to attending a performance art show on steroids. The opportunity to try a designer drug like no other presents itself at the club and Neil and has posse have an experience like no other the only catch is they are told they can only take it once, but told why.

The next day they are keen to recreate the experience and its then that everything starts to unravel.

The movie does not set out to preach about the dangers of drugs and it is not the theme yet you cant help but recognize the parallels between the decent into psychosis that some are unfortunate enough to experience with recreational drug use and the aberrant behavior of those taking URGE.

The ending has a interesting twist and after the final credits a short scene sets up the possibility of a follow up movie.

This movie is both engaging and disturbing in the same way as a car crash can be, you know people are being harmed but you cant help but keep watching out of macabre curiosity.

A solid 7/10 anyone who thinks otherwise needs to get over themselves.
