Nerve is a thrilling movie that stars Emma Roberts as “Vee” and Dave Franco as “Ian”. Nerve circles around a recurring setting that most teen movies have, and that’s high school. This movie uses the lives of high school students to make it more interesting. In other words, Nerve is a technology-obsessed teen movie and that makes it stand out compared to some older movies. The movie focuses on what is now possible with technology. While I was watching this movie parts of it reminded me of the app Pokemon Go. The fact that Nerve was a new app/game that many people began playing in the movie and that the app had access to the player’s location is what really made me think of Pokemon Go.
Nerve is a truth or dare game minus the truth. When you sign up for the game you have the choice of being a watcher or a player. As a player, the watchers choose your dare and if you’re able to complete your dare while recording it on your phone you receive money (amount depending on the dare). When the movie began, the truth or dare game was set out to be a fun game that everyone wanted to play. As the movie went on it began to show its true colors. The game was not as fun as it seemed, in fact it was dangerous. It really keeps you engaged the whole time, wondering whether or not the characters will be able to complete the dare or not. In the movie, each character is briefly introduced but you never get their full story. In my opinion, if they went more in depth into some of the characters’ lives, it could make the movie stronger. Even though the movie lacked detail it was still an overall good idea and it was produced well.
