kevincharlesobrien 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!
marcosrobertosanches ...and they don't even TRY to use metaphor, like TWD, or use christian themes to create a horror movie, like The Exorcist. No, it's just a one-sided cautionary tale about drugs, on par with the guidelines of DEA, filled with mediocre writing and not that good acting by some known names. Run!
Boris R Below contains spoilers about the overall theme (not about the plot).The theme is that people are naturally evil, and the only thing that makes them act nicely are inhibitions imposed by society norms. It is not a new philosophical idea. It references the "Ring of Gyges" myth, and the "Original Sin" concept of Christianity.First, I disagree that people are naturally sinful. A person is born "tabula rasa", neither good nor evil, and he becomes good or evil based on his understanding (or misunderstanding) of reality.Second, the people in the movie begin to act in crazy (and often evil) ways not because they are losing their inhibitions, but because they stop thinking rationally. They start to act solely on a whim, following blindly whatever crazy idea that pops into their head. Ayn Rand has called this "whim worship". Quote:"What does it mean, to act on whim? It means that a man acts like a zombie, without any knowledge of what he deals with, what he wants to accomplish, or what motivates him. It means that a man acts in a state of temporary insanity. Is this what you call juicy or colorful? I think the only juice that can come out of such a situation is blood. To act against the facts of reality can result only in destruction." — Ayn Rand (Playboy interview)And these are exactly the effects portrayed in the movie. But, the movie gets wrong the cause of these effects. It is not removal of the inhibitions, but it is the stopping of rational thinking that causes people to act crazy.
adonis98-743-186503 A weekend getaway takes a dangerous turn when a mysterious nightclub owner (Pierce Brosnan) introduces a group of friends to a new designer drug. Stripped of their inhibitions, they start living out their wildest fantasies - but what starts out as a fun night of partying quickly turns deadly, as the island paradise deteriorates into a tropical madhouse. URGE also stars Justin Chatwin, Ashley Greene, Alexis Knapp, Bar Paly, Chris Geere, Nick Thune, Tommy Yoo, and Danny Masterson. This film was meant to fail since day one since it stars Drangonball: Evolution star Justin Chatwin an actor that just can't act, Pierce Brosnan is barely in the film and he has this creepy laugh and i thought that Ashley Greene was going to be the saving grace of this film but honestly everyone was dull.
