A movie that's as empty and unlikable as the characters themselves.

Rated: 1/4

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.

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

Rated: 2/5

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

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

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.

Rated: F

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.

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.

A terrible low budget film and the only highlight is Pierce Brosnan.

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.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
