Nerve

I don't give a damn about how illogical it was, because I just enjoyed it. Nerve has a likable central couple, a very decent pace, plenty of suspense and a great soundtrack. Far from being just about entertainment, the movie also serves as a warning about the negative impact of modern technology and social networks on the lives of young people. Rapper Machine Gun Kelly makes a couple of cameo appearances as the bad guy and clearly enjoys it. (75%) (17/07/2022)

The immensely sympathetic main protagonist, a current new idea and the beautifully colored camera surprised me and turned Nerve into a pleasant experience. The finale is, true, a little barren and the most thrilling scene was the motorcycle ride. However, watching till the end was not as much of a problem as it might seem after seeing the teaser.

Nerve is a very solid modern thriller that benefits from the behavior of modern youth, social media, the Internet, and mostly its anonymity. Well, and of course, it goes to the extreme. Personally, I have to say that, except for a few details when I would give the juniors a couple of slaps, and the unnecessarily hyped music, I was satisfied. What initially appeared to be just another nonsense for the youth is, in the end, a very clever and suspenseful thriller that will give some food for thought to everyone who was born in the age of the Internet and isn’t a hacker who undoubtedly knew these things a long time ago and can also use them, if they want. One of the most original movies of the year 2016. (21/12/2016)

A pleasantly paced film that keeps going from start to finish. Currently, it's not such an original topic, but the film has good characters and great drive. It carries the film throughout and doesn't stop until it's over. Sure, it could have turned out differently, it could have been grittier, but even so, it's not bad. (21/10/2016)

I won’t waste your time, Nerve is fine. In terms of Hollywood silliness, it’s not above the average, but it is when it comes to tension and fun. Stripped to the bone, I’d say that the core concept is quite smart and interesting; that some details are problematic when you look deeper into it, that’s another thing. I’d wager that the people who’ve complained about the script would rate better a film with the same script if the style was different and the characters were more serious. To me, that’s like paying attention only to the glossy cover. The posers cringe :D I’m actually sorry to have missed Nerve in the cinemas. Emma Roberts is lovely and she was quite some chemistry with that lad. 7/10 (14/10/2016)
