Urge

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.

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."

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)

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.

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.
