Urge (2016)

What makes it different from others?

The first must-see film of the year.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

...and not see this movie.I've come to the conclusion that any recent film with Pierce Brosnan in it is a B movie of dubious quality. The only thing I was relieved to find out on watching this train-wreck was that my Rule still holds true.He must have burnt through all his dosh from his 007 days. I think I'll be steering clear of Mr Brosnan in future.BTW, as far as the moral that this movie was trying to convey: I get it entirely. Unfortunately it's presented in the most ham-fisted, uninspiring and boring way that it's not worth the bother. Honestly - not even any revealing sex scenes to at least make watching this more interesting.

A good idea for a movie: some drug that made you feel happy and with total freedom but then you go crazy and mad without boundaries and you go messing all your wickedness unobstructed over the world.But this movie lost this and was really bad: acting is boring, talking is meaningless, sex scenes are striptease only, it has no purpose at all.If someone gave a higher vote to it, please, stop using drugs!

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.

Urge is a psychedelic, apocalyptic, sexy, horror, thriller, flick. That is to say, its not sure what it is and as a result, nor is the audience. I simply did not know what to make of this film. Its has a reasonable cast and Pierce Brosnan puts in a couple of fun appearances but that's really about it. For me, the scripting is far too convoluted, to really hold this film together. As a result, what you get, I would describe as cinematic "confetti".Lots of things happening, that have nominal meaning on their own but don't really work well, as a coherent whole.The result is a film that looks interesting but never goes anywhere, interesting. My advice, give this one a pass. Four out of ten from me.
