A high school senior finds herself immersed in an online game of truth or dare, where her every move starts to become manipulated by an anonymous community of "watchers." Nerve wastes both Emma Roberts and Dave Franco in a forgettable and quite stupid crime, adventure flick that is quite too stupid and also tries to be quite to smart to be taken serious. If you like any of the 2 actors you're going to be very disappointed with their characters and roles for sure but also with the movie it self as a whole. Don't watch it it's not really worth it. (F)

It's one of my favourite movies, i recommend it to my friends when they ask me what to watch and they like it too. it sure isn't great if you've watched many movies and you're searching for something impressing.

Responding to provocation from her more adventurous best friend, Vee becomes a player in online game Nerve, in which Players undertake challenges set by subscribing Viewers, performing via live phonecam videofeeds, for cash rewards. But it doesn't take long for the challenges (starting at the relatively innocuous "Kiss a stranger for 5 seconds for $100") to become downright hazardous.Despite a superficial resemblance to the 1997 Michael Douglas thriller The Game, this film is very much its own thing. Built on the internet tendency towards selfies and online gaming and disclosure of massive amounts of personal information, plus a leaning towards thrillseeking - we've all seen the sort of youtube videos embodying risk-taking - this film has a plausible set up and a believable escalation in the risks offered.It does, however, leave you wondering a bit about some of the later developments - how is Nerve run, why can't you get out of it, how are they able to apply certain sanctions? - which needed a tighter hand on the scriptwriting. These shouldn't have been questions that arose, let alone remained unanswered.Emma Roberts, credibly playing a character 10 years younger, does well and looks good in lingerie, and Dave Franco as her partner in crime is also fine.This is essentially an adventure thriller with mild suspense and little substance, yet it held my interest and entertained me throughout: there were some nice graphic flourishes which helped you understand how the game was progressing. Especially recommended if you are fond of taking selfies!
