Watch Urge For Free

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Started out with promise and intrigue, but after the first 20 Minutes quickly crashed into oblivion. Was Brosman character God or the devil? It does matter, a very poor performance by him. This movie had the "urge" to kill off almost all the main characters. A spoiled bunch of rich kids whose characters are never developed enough for the audience to care about them. The scene at the end only makes the plot more confusing. It appears they borrowed scenes from zombie moves or reduce the cost of filming.Shame on Pierce! Skip this one!

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.

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!

"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.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT
