Very strange, but lacks a decent narrative.
Sleepin_Dragon11 August 2019
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.

Feeling the Urge
kosmasp13 April 2017
But try to resist it. Consider it a game of how long can you last. Yes Pierce Brosnan is in this, and Ashley Greene too. But everyone needs money don't they? The answer is yes, if that was unclear. The movie itself has a nice premise, trying to give us what we crave. Though the problem is, while it is by the numbers it is also pulling punches. One example is the nudity (again).

But violence wise you have to admit, there are quite a few good effects on hand. Also a weird ending to the whole thing. Maybe not so fitting to a movie that has not much class up to that point. Then again, there is a stinger after the credits are over and it may actually tell us something ... or does it? Make sure to watch it though (you've stayed on for so long, just fast forward your way to it - not that you can't see it coming from a mile away, but still)

OK...so this was crap
idontdodrugs6 June 2016
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.

OK movie, lots of hidden clues, made it fun
Bockus-264-3779165 July 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I thought this was an OK movie I actually came out with two different scenarios in my head after watching this. Some of the acting was great and some of it is bad. The group of friends the movie is about all despise each other and "urge" brings it out in them. It brings out all the bad things people think about each other and makes them real. That made me love this movie. This all happens because the group couldn't control their greed in the first place and abide by the one rule. This movie to me was an examination of the human mind. Then again the whole thing could be just an imagination of Jasons mind. After all he is the the 1st person to take urge twice after it didn't work the first time and then all the people and hallucinations afterward make you question if anything is real after the club party. I thought it was pretty good.

Good ideas, lack of focus
anne-tremblay-3178 October 2016
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 only urge I got....was to rant on this movie.
djangozelf-123515 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
The first half of this movie is a lot of talk about this new type of drug which is suppose to take away your inhibitions and makes you delft into the "real" you. This is sold as groundbreaking but the effects seem less than lets say XTC(love drug)or speed(aggression). This is so toned down that your not really clear what "urge" actually does and how it effects the individual person.

Than of course there's the one time only rule which makes the whole even more ridiculous and give it a more mythical status. On top of that they make it "an easy to break" rule so it even makes lesser sense.They tell you a story but don't give you any of the scenes to back that up.A very poor execution of the script.

You expect orgies and get hugs and kisses,you expect extreme violence but end up more with tough talk and out of picture violence.

The performances were O.K. but the writing was just so bad or the direction so sidetracked that it was doomed from the beginning.

Sad for Pierce that he gave up the Bond franchise to play in bad movies like these.Danny Masterson's role had some promise but that died down by the time they get to the club and the nosedive begins.

If you do see the movie,wait for the scene behind the end credit and explain what that had to do with the rest of the movie because that was beyond me.

Of course..I don't recommend it.

There are better movies out there with similar subject matters that worked way better than this obvious indie B-movie.

I didn't believe it would be this terrible.
rebeccax528 June 2016
Don't believe any of the good or even OK reviews. It's just truly the worst film.

What an embarrassment for Pierce Brosnan and these other actors.

I can't find a single positive thing to say about this film.

The people who made the film have absolutely no concept of filmmaking or art.

How could they make such a piece of junk and waste money like this is beyond understanding.

There are lots of bad movies, but this one takes the cake. Like another reviewer said, they felt like writing the review is terrible because IMDb requires a long enough review to submit it.

Normally I might not bother writing writing a review for a terrible movie, but this one requires a SINGLE WARNNG. Do not waste a cent or a bran cell on this one. This is not run of the mill bad, this is a disgrace to even sell.

I rented this for 7dollars on Amazon. I want my money back. Even had this been been free on Amazon Prime, I'd want my money back.

I can only speculate about the sick people that made this in NEW YORK CITY.

True waste of time
cinema_passionata5 June 2016
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.

Is it God or the Devil?
cahidi30 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This review might contain a mild spoiler. Read it at your own risk. It's a decent thriller. Not that terrifying, yet not boring enough to make me fall asleep. The acting is quite natural if you ask me. The plot is rather predictable. The gore is plenty, yet not hardcore. The sex scenes are what I can only describe as striptease only. Zero excitement on this part. The only downside that I felt is the lack of explanation of who Pierce Brosnan's character was supposed to be. God or the Devil? I mean I get that this movie is about the 7 deadly sins and how they can bring humans to their grave end. But if he (Pierce) was meant to play God, then this movie is one hell of a sick and twisted interpretation of God. I can only make assumptions of my own. I think I'll go with him as the Devil.

Not for everyone-overall good atmosphere
sfarago5 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Urge is about a group of wealthy friends traveling to an island for a fun weekend. After they try a new drug 'urge' at a weird party, their true inner self surfaces and they end up killing each other in brutal ways.

To keep this review short, I think the movie had a good atmosphere overall, the characters are mostly believable tough, there could have been more development. If you like mildly weird stuff and have a lazy afternoon I recommend this to you. However, if you don't like those endings where you have to figure out weather they were hallucinating the whole time or not, this is probably not for you.

I would give this movie a 5. Would not watch again.

Thoroughly surprising and enjoyable
clairehorse31 March 2017
Although almost turned off by negative reviews at first, I am glad I stuck through with this one. The beginning is humorous, but slowly gets darker and darker. It was interesting, had me on the edge of my seat, and seemed to provide a parallel to the realities of drug use. Character performances were for the most part skillful. Enjoyed it!

Impressed by its ability to be strange and horrifying at the same time
subxerogravity10 June 2016
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.

has potential as a very quirky, unintentional comedy . . .
charles00017 January 2017
An interesting attempt at a concept piece, but never quite assembles into a viable production.

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of this production is that Pierce Brosnan actually signed on to this project

Maybe he was already taking an analog of the drug "urge" out there in the real world and thought this project was a good idea . . . OK, just kidding (well, sort of).

Seriously, though, I can't help but leave this viewing experience feeling as if 90 minutes has been sucked out my life, with essentially no redeeming qualities to justify this sacrifice of time.

Theoretically, this was supposed to be a sort of great philosophical voyage enabled by following the various characters' descent into darkness, the "monsters of the id" syndrome magnified by an evil drug concocted by the ethereal villain (Pierce Brosnan's character) in this clumsily woven together story.

The result, however, is not a vast panorama of epiphany, but rather a very quirky, unintentional comedy . . . somewhat like a psychedelic modern day equivalent of "Plan 9 From Outer Space".

No doubt this will devolve into something of a cult classic among a select few, but for me at least, anything above zero stars would be deceptively misleading.

Having said that, however, for at least it's potential as an unintentional comedy, I'll grant 2 stars . . . tentatively

No one could possibly like this movie's end (no spoilers)
Matt994221 June 2017
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."

'Here, try this completely unpredictable drug.' 'OK, sounds like a plan!'
Sankari_Suomi18 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
A bunch of rich and nauseatingly self absorbed young toss monkeys travel to a nearby island for a weekend holiday. Here they visit a nightclub that only caters for heterosexual people.

Pierce Brosnan—looking painfully worse for wear these days—owns the nightclub, and offers a bizarre new drug called Urge, which releases the user's inhibitions for an indefinite period. The catch: you can only take it once, and supply is strictly controlled.

Two scenes later the drug is miraculously available to pretty much everyone all over the island, and everyone's taking multiple hits. This reversal of a critical plot element is never explained.

As tensions between the holidaymakers become unbearable, they begin to live out their worst fantasies under the influence of Urge. Only one member of the group seems immune: but can he survive the weekend? I honestly couldn't give a toss, and neither will you.

I rate Urge at 9.99 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a pathetic 3/10 on IMDb.

I actually wished I could have used that "Urge", so this movie would be way better ...
peterp-450-2987161 September 2016
"This weekend's gonna be epic."

How the hell did the makers of "Urge" convince Pierce Brosnan to join them? Pierce Brosnan, better known as the legendary 007 and his participation in light humorous romantic comedies. And sometimes he even tries to showcase his musical talent, as in "Mamma Mia!" for example. But I've never seen this top gentleman as devilish and evil as here. The acting of Brosnan is also the only positive part in this movie. And also the only thing that fascinated me.

Neil (Danny Masterson) is a young, wealthy entrepreneur, who's used to a life where he gets everything. An arrogant guy whose group of friends probably consists of artificial friendships that live off his amassed fortune. One day he and his so-called friends Vick (Chris Geere), Danny (Nick Thune), Joey (Alexis Knapp) and Denise (Bar Paly) go to an island to enjoy a great weekend together in his ultra- modern villa. This could well be an epic weekend. That's what he promised his secretary and semi-lover Theresa (Ashley Greene). However, there are two surprises awaiting them. The first in the form of Jason (Justin Chatwin), the uninvited would-be artist and infant terrible, but yet Neil's bosom friend. And the second surprise is the drug "Urge" which is presented to them in the exclusive nightclub Volcano.

Clearly it's not a typical night club. There are eyes projected at the wall and randomly they choose someone to grant him exclusive access to the club. Once inside they are welcomed by a kind of Oompa Loompa person. And the audience seems to be under the influence of some chemical drug. The moment Jason meets the charismatic and Delmore Schwartz citing owner, who's known as "The Man", he's offered an exceptional brand new drug. A unique experience will await him and his friends. Provided they only use it once. Too bad for Jason. Seems like it has no effect on him.

It will come as no surprise that this gang of idiots will break the golden rule. The result is complete hysteria with everyone's deepest desires and bizarre fantasies taking an unrestrained form. With all its consequences. An outbreak of violence and sadistic savagery is the result. A kind of "Clockwork Orange" frenzy. And this hysteria takes over the entire island. It seems as if the entire population has consumed a bit to much "Urge" and forgot about that important rule.

Afterwards I was wondering what the ultimate message was behind this story. What was it the creators wanted to show? The decay of our society? The danger of hallucinogens and other chemical mess? Or were they trying to prove that each individual has a dark side? Actually, I expected a kind of sado masochistic story after seeing those ladies with delicious curves and dressed in red latex in the beginning of the movie. Ultimately, "Urge" is like a space cake without space. Or a mushroom that should give you hallucinations, but turns out to be an innocent champignon. Nothing mind-blowing or exciting. Afterwards you'll get a sort of Machiavellian interpretation, but the meaningless and disappointing ending spoiled it somewhat. It would have been sublime if a package of "Urge" was being delivered with this film. Just to keep an open mind, while watching this rather disappointing film.

Anger about the waste of money and talent
niko-stolwijk27 June 2016
Not going to say much more about this movie which hasn't been said yet.

Only this!

It has an easter-egg at the end and even that part they where able to run into the ground.

Wish there was an undo button so I could wipe this movie from my mind.

The worst thing of it all is that IMDb forces me to write 10 lines about this movie.

It's not worth that amount of lines.

It's a waste of the carbon emission of the energy spent to write these extra lines

The worst part were the bed scenes. And also the swimming pool scene was horrible.

And come on smoking getting out of nostrils after snoring the drug was infantile.

This was more then enough comment! Run while you can.

Put it in the bin!
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.

Beyond contrived
pickylens20 April 2017
Here's the problem with Urge, the dialogue is some of the worst I've ever heard. If people really talk like this, Pierce help us. Sadly I think people do, they're known as douche bags (yes, even the women), which is what this movie should have been called.

Additionally, the acting suffers, which given the talent level and the opportunities given (or lack thereof) you figure they would have been trying to make the most of their roles. Pierce is the only one who shines, show 'em how it's done Remington Steele!

Engaging and Disturbing
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.

Surge.
morrison-dylan-fan27 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
After a day where things annoyingly took ages to sort out,I got home in the mood to catch a easy-going Thriller. One of the first titles to pop up when I searched the genre on Netflix UK,I got an urge for a viewing.

View on the film:

Only working on the flick for three days,Pierce Brosnan gives the title the lone "high"lights of the show as The Man, with Brosnan gleefully cackling and swaggering whilst unrolling cryptic dialogue, whilst fitties (with former Twilight actress Ashley Greene being the most eye-catching) mistake mumbling and shouting for anxious and tense.

Urging each other to try the new drug, the screenplay by debut co-writer/(with Jerry Stahl,Jason Zumwalt and Guy Busick) director Aaron Kaufman slips the pals and the audience a downer, with a terribly messy tale. Shoving each other around, the writers permanently keep the interchangeable characters locked in a obvious mode, making the aggression they show after taking the drug, barely changing them from how they already were.

Sniffing shoddy attempts at a glossy Thriller atmosphere with whip-pans,jump-cut edits and poke in the eye lens flare from director Kaufman & cinematographer Lyle Vincent, the writers snap in a post-credits final twist, which has the unintended effect of highlighting the lack of any clear set-up on the effects of the drug,leading to a loss of any urge.

Brosnan is literally The Man....
FlashCallahan22 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
A weekend getaway takes a dangerous turn when a mysterious nightclub owner known only as 'The Man' introduces a group of friends to a new designer drug.

Stripped of their inhibitions, they start living out their wildest fantasies.

but what starts out as a night of partying quickly turns deadly, as the island paradise turns into a psychedelic nightmare.

Brosnan more or less plays a human version of the snake in the garden of Eden, warning the users to use the titular drug only once. But like Adam and Eve, they choose to ignore his warnings and take the designer drug as many times as they can.

Which turns Urge very urgent for them. Every time the group take more of the drug, we, the audience experience subliminal flashes that may or may not have connotations to the films meaning.

Many have dismissed the film as nothing more than a wannabe cult movie in the making, but there is so much more when you think outside of the box. Why are they there, why does Brosnan supply a drug that can only be used once, but then again, does he have some ulterior motive, using reverse psychology, knowing that they won't heed to his warning?

The cast are nothing special, but they are fine in what they are doing, waking up in strange places wondering how they got there and losing their inhibitions over and over, and a little more severe each time.

But the film has a penchant for using psychedelia to get it's message across. The colours are vibrant and vivid, which makes the character of The Man even more mysterious as he is all in white. Is he the puppet master of the subconscious? The Willy Wonka of the sublime?

The more I think of the film, the more and more I want to see it again and again, to try and get more from it's obscure narrative.

And the fact that it has one of the most out there post credit sequences I've seen in a long time, makes the film more of a curio- so piece.

Destined to have a solid fan base in years to come.

I understand the hate... But I kinda liked it!
afallguns5 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
When the trailer first came out I was thrilled, like expectations through the roof... The flick came out and so did the bad reviews... Still, I decided to take a shot... Maybe the "Urge" would kick for me like it didn't for anyone else... (awful joke! Mea culpa maxima!)

Please, allow me to be gentle... Lets begin then... Great premise, not that much original, but if drugs are involved, also am I, in the best of times... The first act was fine or even very fine... The second one was interesting, kind of thrilling... The final act made the movie a zombie flick and sucked!

There wasn't a development of the characters, but I don't feel like that was important... In my POV, they were just that kind of people that you know and you meet casually in a party... You may hang out with them for a while or even all the night, but you wouldn't remember their names if your life depended on it! It feels like, although, that many characters background and "important inter-character moments" were lost in the editing room. For example, the graffiti... Neil died thinking that Jason did it... And it was a big deal, worthy a toast with a 62 years and $100k whisky. And just like that, it didn't matter... That kind of stuff happens when you work a script in eight hands... Or it didn't got into the final cut...

Talking cuts... Way too many cuts... Way too many unnecessary cuts... For example, the "cake-f*ck" scene (I don't believe I wrote that, meaning to write that!)... I was OK with the back and forth cross-cutting... I wasn't OK with the number of inserts in the master shot, that didn't even changed the angle of the shooting. Made it looks like they were trying to put together the best bits of performance of their many takes. It was Kaufman's directional debut, but that was just messed up.

Good parts... It had many good parts... The dialogue, I loved the dialogue! Simple and believable in casual moments, clever in its jokes, and interesting in its philosophy. Actingwise, Nick Thune was the best hands down! His character going crazy is mesmerizing. But the movie is made of good moments. Like at the entrance of the Volcano, with the eyes in the wall, how cool was that?... Or the beginning of the party... Or Theresa going kinda dominatrix on Neil... Or the cake- f*ck (I still can't believe!)... Put it all together it doesn't sounds like much, but those moments, and others, are quite awesome by themselves.

007wise... I liked the Man... Pierce was good, not as much as Thune, but still good... But they screwed him in the last scene... A villain without a goal can do anything, is f*ckin' unpredictable, interesting... In the other hand, a villain that aims for the Apocalypse is boring, and can go just as far as the end of the world... And in the movies, the end of the world never is a end of the world... BUT HE GOT SOME GOOD LINES IN THE TWO FIRST SCENES HE WAS IN!

Bottom line... The first two acts are quite decent, just a couple problems with the writing and some execution issues... The third act is where things go sideways and the movie losses in it self... And the end credit scene is so generic that could be of any zombie flick ever made. WOULD FIT ANY ZOMBIE MOVIE, MORE THAN DID TO URGE!

Give it a try... Won't hurt... You may even have a good time... In the end you will at least know what not to do when making a movie...

Worse than bad.
smithymonster5 June 2016
Without a doubt the worst film I have seen this year so far. It is almost worth watching for 2 reasons :

1) Just to have something to compare other awful films to. 2) To see how low one-time A-listers will stoop to get a pay cheque.

Awful.

If you have to make a choice involving this film or literally any other film ever made, choose the other film. Even if it stars Nicolas Cage post 2012.

If this had been better I would have turned it off after half an hour, but through sheer morbid curiosity I watched it until the mental, deranged, senseless, rubbish ending.

Don't say I didn't want you.
