Nerve (2016)
Rated PG-13
Starring Emma Roberts, Dave Franco, Emily Meade, Miles Heizer, Juliette Lewis, Kimiko Glenn,
Directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman
The Story:
Vee (Roberts) decides she's had enough of being a wallflower and sheds her inhibitions by joining the online game "Nerve". In it, players are given dares that they must complete within a time limit while others watch online. As the game progresses, the dares, and the risks increase exponentially until there is only one winner. When Vee meets Ian (Franco) though, they bond, and she soon discovers there is much more to the game than meets the eye.
Well, that was unexpected.
I hadn't heard about this one until it was just about to come out on Netflix.
I've always enjoyed Emma Roberts in just about any role that she's been in, so I will almost always give it a shot.
Which is amusing, considering I'm not the biggest fan of her aunt's work at all.
Anyway, I was engaged in the game, and the proceedings kept us all on the edge of our seats as one dare led to the next until there were just 2 contestants left standing.
Who will be the ultimate survivor?
I'm actually surprised this sort of game doesn't exist in real life, albeit for far less stakes or with far less money involved.
Or maybe it already does?
