"Nerve" movie review

Tweet

Movie review for "Nerve".    "Nerve" is a high powered action drama about kids who start playing this online game called "Nerve".   There are players and there are watchers.  The most popular player wins.  Players do crazy pranks for popularity votes and for cash prizes.  Watchers direct the dares that the players get and the players the popularity votes that they desire.  Players fall away when the fail their dares, or if they bail on their dares. At first the game begins innocently enough - fairly innocent "dares".  As the games go on - the "dares" get more and more dangerous - the more danger is involved the more the player has the potential to earn and the more views they get.  However the dares soon tread into the life threatening area.  Our main character, a girl named Vee - tries to put a stop to it, but the "Nerve" network finds out.  They punish Vee.  They tell her that they have control of financial information for her and her mom and they know where they both live.  The only way they'll stop is if Vee wins this round of "Nerve".  Is there a way out?  Is there a way to shut down the game ?  You'll have to watch and see.  Alright so - the characters were a little annoying --  the popular girl best-friend.  The main character selling out her friend by telling her secrets online, etc. Actually a word that comes to mind is underdeveloped characters.... but in all this is a pretty solid movie.  Trailer:
