    Pierce Brosnan Peddles Crazy-Pants Super-Drug in Trailer for Thriller 'Urge' (Exclusive)

    Kevin Polowy
    Senior Correspondent, Yahoo Entertainment
    May 4, 2016

    Former 007 Pierce Brosnan looks much more like a raving lunatic James Bond would foil than Her Majesty’s suave secret agent in the upcoming thriller Urge (watch the exclusive trailer above). Raving is a fitting description for his character in the film: simply known as The Man, he is a slick-haired, tinted-sunglasses-sporting club owner who deals a designer drug whose users lose the ability to control their urges.

    Tempted by this super drug are a crew of young New Yorkers on vacation (including Justin Chatwin, Danny Masterson, Ashley Greene, and Alexis Knapp) in tropical paradise. They’re warned they can only take Urge once — but after a night of pure inhibition-shedding ecstacy, they want seconds.

    They score a second round, and, suffice to say, they all lose their s–t. All except their friend Jason (Shameless’s Chatwin), who remains dead sober and is left to witness the horror and pick up the pieces (and probably some dead bodies, too.)

    We’ve seen our share of getaways to paradise ruined over in recent cinematic history, but maybe none that have looked as outrageous as what transpires in Urge. And how can you not be curious to see what Brosnan does in a Master of Douchery role that looks like the love child of Nicolas Cage in Bad Lieutenant and Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?

    Written by Jerry Stahl (Bad Boys II) and directed by Aaron Kaufman (making his debut behind the camera after producing Robert Rodriguez sequels Machete Kills and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For), Urge also stars Chris Geere and Bar Paly. The movie hits theaters and on-demand June 3.

    Are Dems bungling their impeachment strategy?

    ONEREBEL: Democrats are outraged at possible foreign and Russian collusion? Where was that outrage about collusion when: Hillary’s campaign manager’s brother was paid $175,000 to lift U.S. sanctions on Russia? Top officials in the FBI, CIA and Justice Department never alerted the Trump campaign to potential threats from Russian agents. Three Democratic senators asked Ukraine to help investigate President Trump or risk losing U.S. aid. In 2013, then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Less than two weeks later, Hunter Biden's firm inked a $1 billion private equity deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government's Bank of China. The deal was later expanded to $1.5 billion. In short, the Chinese government funded a business that it co-owned along with the son of a sitting vice president. The New York Times reported in 2015, “shortly after Russia acquired a major stake in Uranium One. Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a speech by a Russian investment firm with links to the Kremlin, that were promoting Uranium One stocks.” In total $145 million went to the Clinton Foundation from interests linked to Uranium One, which was acquired by the Russian governments nuclear agency Rosatum. A deal Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had to approve. The DNC / Hillary / FBI made payment to Russians to put together a fake dossier used to get warrants. They knew the information was fake and lied to the courts about it. They also got several news media outlets to help promote this false story, then used these news reports as evidence to support getting a warrant (called circular reporting). President Obama was caught on an open microphone telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, to tell Putin,he would have more "flexibility" to negotiate after the November election. Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees for Ukraine if officials did not fire the country’s top prosecutor, who was pursuing a corruption investigation of an energy company while his son Hunter was serving on the board. But somehow this is all different in the Democrats world!
