1/4
A movie that's as empty and unlikable as the characters themselves. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 06/03/2016
The lack of any likable characters ultimately undoes "Urge." Kaufman and Stahl have made a classic party-throwers mistake: overrating the entertainment value in watching other people get high. Go to Full Review

In his directorial debut, Aaron Kaufman makes a few mistakes, but, overall, offers a decent view of this indulgent lifestyle. Go to Full Review

The absurdity of Urge is awfully difficult to put into words -- it's just one big mistake. Go to Full Review

Drugs can kill, but in this tawdry thriller, you just wish they'd get it over with a little quicker. Go to Full Review

It's a terrible movie, incoherent and absurd, with Kaufman completely incapable of inspiring anything besides a headache with what's sure to be one of the worst films of 2016. Go to Full Review

Michael A Nov 13 Why on earth is Pierce Brosnan in this absolute waste of time excuse for a movie? Money is the only logical reason that comes to mind. Horribly written, horribly directed, and horribly acted... and it ends after the credits as if there is going to be sequel... really? See more Gabriel A 10/15/2024 Extremamente desagradável de assistir. Uma trama que começa vazia e piora para algo confuso, sem um mínimo sentido, apenas caos e loucura. Nem para quem é fã de Pierce Brosnan como eu, recomendo esse filme. See more Ashley W 09/21/2024 This movie was intriguing. It will not be the best movie you've seen but is worth watching. I enjoyed the concept, which allowed me to ignore aspects of the movie that were not executed well. See more jelisije j 01/09/2023 A terrible low budget film and the only highlight is Pierce Brosnan. See more 04/30/2021 This is possibly the worst film ever made but I enjoyed 4-5 minutes in total. See more 04/14/2021 After quitting Thunder Force starring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer wenty minutes into it, we decided to watch the first movie that showed up on Amazon Prime that neither of us had ever heard of before. What could go wrong? Hey, Pierce Brosnan was in it. How bad could it be? Unfortunately, worse than Thunder Force. Pierce can really chew the scenery. Danny Masterson as the male lead, a malignant Elan Musk - sorry if that's redundant - takes his friends to an island to wine, dine, and unwind them with a psychedelic drug called "Urge" that can only be taken ONCE which is more than I can say for this movie. We could barely make it through once. Pretty girls, a carnivalesque, bacchanalian, disco party scene, incomprehensible characters, and plot be damned. If you can't figure out the "deus ex machina" in this one, you should have stuck with unfunny, dull, and completely predictable Thunder Force. See more Read all reviews
