Urge (2016)
1/10
The only urge I got....was to rant on this movie.
5 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
The first half of this movie is a lot of talk about this new type of drug which is suppose to take away your inhibitions and makes you delft into the "real" you. This is sold as groundbreaking but the effects seem less than lets say XTC(love drug)or speed(aggression). This is so toned down that your not really clear what "urge" actually does and how it effects the individual person.

Than of course there's the one time only rule which makes the whole even more ridiculous and give it a more mythical status. On top of that they make it "an easy to break" rule so it even makes lesser sense.They tell you a story but don't give you any of the scenes to back that up.A very poor execution of the script.

You expect orgies and get hugs and kisses,you expect extreme violence but end up more with tough talk and out of picture violence.

The performances were O.K. but the writing was just so bad or the direction so sidetracked that it was doomed from the beginning.

Sad for Pierce that he gave up the Bond franchise to play in bad movies like these.Danny Masterson's role had some promise but that died down by the time they get to the club and the nosedive begins.

If you do see the movie,wait for the scene behind the end credit and explain what that had to do with the rest of the movie because that was beyond me.

Of course..I don't recommend it.

There are better movies out there with similar subject matters that worked way better than this obvious indie B-movie.
