Highly Overrated But Still Good
Absolutely Fantastic
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Started out with promise and intrigue, but after the first 20 Minutes quickly crashed into oblivion. Was Brosman character God or the devil? It does matter, a very poor performance by him. This movie had the "urge" to kill off almost all the main characters. A spoiled bunch of rich kids whose characters are never developed enough for the audience to care about them. The scene at the end only makes the plot more confusing. It appears they borrowed scenes from zombie moves or reduce the cost of filming.Shame on Pierce! Skip this one!
...and not see this movie.I've come to the conclusion that any recent film with Pierce Brosnan in it is a B movie of dubious quality. The only thing I was relieved to find out on watching this train-wreck was that my Rule still holds true.He must have burnt through all his dosh from his 007 days. I think I'll be steering clear of Mr Brosnan in future.BTW, as far as the moral that this movie was trying to convey: I get it entirely. Unfortunately it's presented in the most ham-fisted, uninspiring and boring way that it's not worth the bother. Honestly - not even any revealing sex scenes to at least make watching this more interesting.
I couldn't watch this movie the whole way through. It seemed to me to be filled with unnecessary narcissism, sex, and violence. Ultimately, it was the violence that had me turning it off before the end. Personally, I could go the rest of my life without knowing how this movie ends. I do not recommend this movie, especially if you have small children in the house, who might happen upon what you are watching. Watch at your own risk.
Urge appears to be the prequel to a film that no-one would ever want to watch. It cannot decide what it wants to be thriller? Horror? Cautionary drug tale? Social commentary? It is in fact none of those things. It feels like the makers started to bore themselves and made it up as they went along cramming in more and more nonsense.Its like the film you make up between your friends when you're 17 and stoned, riddled with loose ends and inconsistencies and when you wake in the morning you feel embarrassed how good you thought it seemed but in this case they actually made it!The characters are pointless and unlikable their roles within the film a mystery to the viewer. Although it hopes to seem deep it says nothing except humans are essential bad people which is in fact nonsense unless your talking about the writer of this film.
