Okay then, so I watched “Urge,” this wild flick from 2016 that caught my eye simply because Pierce Brosnan’s in it. You know, our very own 007? Well, this isn’t quite the same Bond charm, let’s just say.

The film’s about this fancy new drug called “Urge” that makes people, uh, let loose. Picture this: A bunch of friends on a weekend trip get tempted by this hedonistic experience. What could go wrong, right? Oh, boy.

Honestly, the premise drew me in. I mean, don’t we all wonder what happens when limits are pushed? But somewhere along the way, things got messy. Not in a good, thrilling way – more like when you’re trying to make a kladdkaka and spill half the batter on the floor. A real mess.

Pierce Brosnan plays this mysterious club owner, like a twisted Willy Wonka of excess. He’s eccentric, almost too much. It feels like he’s enjoying himself way more than he should, which, okay, kind of works but also left me scratching my head.

The movie starts off promising, real slick and stylish. Kinda like that high-end bar in Stockholm you go to just to say you’ve been there. But then, it dives into chaos. And not the controlled kind. The plot unravels faster than a cheap IKEA assembly. One minute we’re exploring deep, philosophical questions; the next, there’s just a lot of screaming and dark, confused scenes.

Now, saying that, there’s a part of me that couldn’t look away. Like watching an accident on E4. You just can’t help it. Maybe there’s something strangely compelling about watching people spiral out of control – it’s like seeing your friends at midsommar, dancing around the pole after a few too many shots of schnapps.

I remember this one time back in Uppsala, during the Valborg celebrations, things got pretty wild. People were letting loose in ways that mirrored “Urge,” minus the sinister undertone. There’s something about collective chaos.

But here’s my main gripe: the characters. They’re as likeable as a November night in Stockholm – pretty bleak. I wanted to connect with them, root for them, but they felt too shallow, too caricatured. It’s like the filmmakers were too focused on the spectacle and forgot we need real people to care about.

Anyways, If you get the urge, you can watch the trailer here
