Nerve

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)

A film aimed at and designed for today’s internet generation as its target audience. It sort of warns against the dangers of the virtual world, highlighting that it’s not smart to put our personal information online, as it can end up in the wrong hands. Essentially, the film told me what I already knew, but I liked the way it presented it. I can’t help but feel that the film starts off a bit like a comedy, though that doesn’t last long. I expected far more suspenseful moments, but I didn’t get that, which was a bit disappointing. The lead duo was likable and well-matched, so there’s not much to criticize there. Even though it was supposed to be a thriller, as I mentioned earlier, there were only a handful of such elements. Sometimes the film seemed to act like it was being funny, even when it wasn’t really. The concept had some merit, but it definitely had more potential. The ending was pretty ordinary, with nothing that stood out. It’s certainly not a bad film, but nothing convinced me to watch it again, and mainly, I didn’t feel like it had a $20 million budget because it didn’t show. I give it 64%. (21/06/2017)

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)

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.

A pleasantly modern thrilling ride that is frightening in how real it is and highlights the flaws of our times. Nerve has a nice pace, an attractive Emma Roberts, and playful visuals, and it manages to mine some decent suspense. One of those films that can be recommended to all from both an educational and entertainment point of view. 80% (14/10/2016)
