Wonderful character development!

Waste of time

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A good idea for a movie: some drug that made you feel happy and with total freedom but then you go crazy and mad without boundaries and you go messing all your wickedness unobstructed over the world.But this movie lost this and was really bad: acting is boring, talking is meaningless, sex scenes are striptease only, it has no purpose at all.If someone gave a higher vote to it, please, stop using drugs!

Neil (Danny Masterson) is an arrogant business man who is very rich and very nice to his inner circle of friends which includes his playboy uninhibited brother Jason (Justin Chatwin). His entourage includes women who are all 10's except for "Droid" who Neil considers to be an "aging 6 or 6 1/2". (Ashley Greene). They vacation on Eastman Island where they go to an erotic club known as "Volcano." Here Pierce Brosnan meets Jason and introduces him to a drug known as "Urge." There is only one rule: only do the drug once.The drug induces a state of uninhibited euphoria...the second use...and we all see this coming, people act on all their urges or impulses. This film reminded me of the 1984 Meg Tilly film "Impulse" which I thought was a bit more entertaining.Jason is seemingly unaffected by the drug as an anomaly because he is already uninhibited.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity Not exacting an immortalizing role Pierce Brosnan.

I hadn't even heard of this movie before spotting it at my local video store, but I decided to give it a chance because Pierce Brosnan was in it, an actor I've often liked. But despite Brosnan being pictured and his name trumpeted on the Blu-ray case, he's hardly in the movie at all. He only makes three appearances in the movie, and the total running time of his screen presence can't be more than ten minutes.Well, such bait and switch techniques in the movie world are no longer surprising to me, so I tried to appreciate the movie for what it actually was. But to be honest, I didn't find it very satisfying. The first half or so of the movie depicts the central protagonists to be really repulsive and unlikable - and not repulsive or unlikable in an interesting or insightful manner. Then the movie suddenly changes tone and eventually becomes what might be called "Night of the Living Druggies". This angle is mildly interesting at first, but soon it reveals that this take on a popular apocalypse tale has nothing new to say.I will admit the movie has some weird and offbeat touches that make it unable to be immediately dismissed. But it's ultimately too weird and offbeat, and the whole package becomes a muddled mess. It's unlikely any viewers will have the urge to rewatch it anytime in the future.

A weekend getaway takes a dangerous turn when a mysterious nightclub owner known only as 'The Man' 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 night of partying quickly turns deadly, as the island paradise turns into a psychedelic nightmare.Brosnan more or less plays a human version of the snake in the garden of Eden, warning the users to use the titular drug only once. But like Adam and Eve, they choose to ignore his warnings and take the designer drug as many times as they can.Which turns Urge very urgent for them. Every time the group take more of the drug, we, the audience experience subliminal flashes that may or may not have connotations to the films meaning.Many have dismissed the film as nothing more than a wannabe cult movie in the making, but there is so much more when you think outside of the box. Why are they there, why does Brosnan supply a drug that can only be used once, but then again, does he have some ulterior motive, using reverse psychology, knowing that they won't heed to his warning?The cast are nothing special, but they are fine in what they are doing, waking up in strange places wondering how they got there and losing their inhibitions over and over, and a little more severe each time.But the film has a penchant for using psychedelia to get it's message across. The colours are vibrant and vivid, which makes the character of The Man even more mysterious as he is all in white. Is he the puppet master of the subconscious? The Willy Wonka of the sublime?The more I think of the film, the more and more I want to see it again and again, to try and get more from it's obscure narrative. And the fact that it has one of the most out there post credit sequences I've seen in a long time, makes the film more of a curio- so piece.Destined to have a solid fan base in years to come.
