Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Admirable film.
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

...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.

But try to resist it. Consider it a game of how long can you last. Yes Pierce Brosnan is in this, and Ashley Greene too. But everyone needs money don't they? The answer is yes, if that was unclear. The movie itself has a nice premise, trying to give us what we crave. Though the problem is, while it is by the numbers it is also pulling punches. One example is the nudity (again).But violence wise you have to admit, there are quite a few good effects on hand. Also a weird ending to the whole thing. Maybe not so fitting to a movie that has not much class up to that point. Then again, there is a stinger after the credits are over and it may actually tell us something ... or does it? Make sure to watch it though (you've stayed on for so long, just fast forward your way to it - not that you can't see it coming from a mile away, but still)

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.

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.
