Urge

I can't help to wonder if the guy who got the money to do the movie was too excited because he got way more than he expected.

It's like a kid who got the permission to grab all the toy he wants from the toy store.

I want sex scenes ! An expensive location ! A sultry party in a night club ! Pierce Brosnan ! I want to send a strong message about our society ! I want to make a god allegory ! I want a lot of gory scenes ! I want to try this effect with the camera lens over and over !

There was a lot of nice ideas thrown in the making of this movie.Unfortunately, the storytelling got lost in translation.

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 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 am a huge horror enthusiast and was excited about this release when I heard about it. Urge (2016) is about an obnoxious capitalist that goes to some weird island with his spoiled friends and unlikely girlfriend/secretary to drink expensive champagne and fool around. Instead they find a sinister night club where they are given a new drug that takes away their inhibitions. This premise sounds interesting because the drug, contrary to alcohol, doesn't turn people into drooling idiots at the same time...

Alas, this is an amateurish project that looks, sounds and feels like something out of a lower grade film school. This project would not have passed the final exam. I feel sorry for the director and people involved – especially Pierce Brosnan who is obviously desperate for work now. It is a dreadfully made movie that just oozes of cheapness and bad writing and acting. None of the characters seem real or even possible to accept as characters. It is all so unrealistic and trivial at the same time. The title role should say it all: Danny Masterson! And consider the fact that the club was supposed to seem cool, when it just seemed like a sleazy fetish club. The whole thing is so misdirected and lame that I couldn't even finish it. And I have finished some awful movies in my time, believe me. I have even seen all three Human Centipede movies from back to back, for example. So what does that say about this one? I am sad to say this: I give it one stars out of ten possible.

I was honestly enjoying this movie. It was stupid, but in a fun way. It wasn't anything to serious, just movie about 20-somehing year old getting high on what was basically Ecstasy.

The only problem I had during the movie was that the acting was TERRIBLE. It was weird because there were actors in it that I've enjoyed in other things, so I know they have the ability to act well. My guess is that no one was really taking the movie seriously , which is probably was made the movie as fun as it was. I imagine the set was just a bunch of actors screwing around,

But then Mr. Ending comes along and ruins the entire movie. It just STOPS. Anyone who says they like the ending is lying or just really really stupid. There's nothing to like. I don't understand why movies insist on using endings like that.

Do people actually LIKE those endings? I've never watched a movie and thought to myself "I really hope this abruptly stops and there's no closure."
