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

Rated: 1/4

Los Angeles Times

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.

I made an account just to say this is the worst movie I have ever seen. It has top-tier talent but the acting is not good, and the visuals are much worse. The plot makes no sense and I don't really understand the ending.

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