Urge (2016)

Waste of time

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Awesome Movie

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

In not one to write reviews but had to tip my hat to this film with it's symbolismsymbolism, life lessons and for it's great acting. It hits home with it's message of our current generations out of control, dumbed down, the world owes me attitude. I believe it touched on just about everything, fake friends, fake living, worship of money and material possessions and if course.... Drugs! Urge ... Only "ONE WARNING", only do it once! That's it. But like the majority of people, instead of taking her to warnings, they indulge! Only one of the friends listens, sees the effects and when he took it BE DIDN'T GET HIGH! Why? He's not s fake friend and doesn't hide who he is. He's honest. Typical ... Was Pierce Brosman the Satan, Lucifer or God? He said we were his creation... Makes one think. The movie has a message if you're paying attention.

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."

I hadn't even heard of this movie before spotting it at my local video store, but I decided to give it a chance because Pierce Brosnan was in it, an actor I've often liked. But despite Brosnan being pictured and his name trumpeted on the Blu-ray case, he's hardly in the movie at all. He only makes three appearances in the movie, and the total running time of his screen presence can't be more than ten minutes.Well, such bait and switch techniques in the movie world are no longer surprising to me, so I tried to appreciate the movie for what it actually was. But to be honest, I didn't find it very satisfying. The first half or so of the movie depicts the central protagonists to be really repulsive and unlikable - and not repulsive or unlikable in an interesting or insightful manner. Then the movie suddenly changes tone and eventually becomes what might be called "Night of the Living Druggies". This angle is mildly interesting at first, but soon it reveals that this take on a popular apocalypse tale has nothing new to say.I will admit the movie has some weird and offbeat touches that make it unable to be immediately dismissed. But it's ultimately too weird and offbeat, and the whole package becomes a muddled mess. It's unlikely any viewers will have the urge to rewatch it anytime in the future.

Urge is badly done cautionary tale of living life to an excess. It has a nightclub scene which reminded me of Eyes Wide Shut masked ball scene and it made that movie's laughable soft core scenes look like a work of art.The film follows a an obnoxious tech millionaire and his cronies flying to an island where they enter an exclusive nightclub. One of them, Jason is invited to meet the mysterious club owner (Pierce Brosnan) who is rather devilish. He gives Jason a drug called Urge that allows people to be uninhibited and urges them to share the drug with his friends but they can only use it once.Jason seems unaffected by Urge but the others have the time of their lives and they ignore the warnings and try it again. This time they become angry, paranoid and violent as deep seated resentments bubble over. It seems infectious as the whole island have gone off the rails with random acts of extreme violence.Brosnan pops up now and then with some philosophical advice but the film is incoherent, messy, boring and filled with unlikeable people. The women are sexy and this and at least provide suitable eye candy.
