by Jessica Yu ![]() Starring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco, Nerve tells the story of a shy and introverted girl, Vee (Emma Roberts), and her quest to prove herself as daring by joining an online game called nerve. The game consists of various dares that are taken by players in order to win money. The person that takes the highest amount of dares wins the entire competition. While playing Nerve, Vee meets Ian (Dave Franco), and they begin to perform dares together. Vee and Ian climb the scoreboard, and suddenly see themselves in the top 10. The dares become more and more dangerous, and Vee finds herself trapped in a high-stakes game that could end her life. Nerve is a thriller/action movie that will leave you on the
edge of your seat even until the last few minutes. Watching the dares that each person performs and whether or not they succeed is nerve wracking but also exciting. Nerve is extremely fast paced, with no boring or filler moments. Every second of it is intense and unpredictable. Vee, the main character, is a relatable character at first who is shy and awkward, but then becomes adventurous and a daredevil in just one night, fueled by the desire to prove everyone wrong. The movie also explores deeper topics as well, such as cyberbullying and anonymity on the internet. The “watchers” of the game, who view the dares but do not participate, hide behind anonymous usernames, but in the end they are just as in the game as the players. The resolution to the story shows us that even bystanders to a horrific situation are responsible for its consequences.
