Nerve Review

I watched Ariel Schulman, Henry Joost movie "Nerve" a few month ago. It is set in the not too distant future, where technology takes much of the power over people. That power becomes a destructive and evasive game in the lives of people. The game consists of two parts, "Viewers" who are the ones who watch and those who make the game possible through their viceous observation, and the "Players" who are the participants, which through tests are gaining more viewers and generates more economic income. The goal of the game is to eliminate participants until generating a final between the two most acclaimed by the observation, and that one eliminates the other with contempt. The challenges are generated by the observers or by the same game, from time to time they are too risky.

To begin with, the movie has a great cast of actors, the main actress, Emma Roberts as Vee, a high school senior in Staten Island, gets sucked up into a sinister competition that emerges out of the deep web, "Nerve", that operates through a smartphone app, that had a really interesting rol as "Player", where it becomes very popular, but does not follow the rules of the game, its purposes are others, the correct ones. Altought, the partner of Emma in the movie Dave Franco as Ian, who occupates a very important role in the film, is a "Prisoner" of the game, and can not free himself from it even if he wins it. The game unites Vee and Ian, to meet challenges together and share part of their lives.

The challenges that are presented in the film are very interesting and they are the main attraction of it. The director and author, creates a very impressive ambience with the problems that are presented to the "Players", that if they do not comply are out. Create an atmosphere of tension, nervousness and very attractive anxiety. The challenges are life threatening and very overwhelming, it makes us want to try them and even not look at them at the same time.

To conclude, the movie is teen´s up, it very creative and presents a totally realistic and harmful society. Even so, i will reccomende it due to the fact that with his great cast it transmits the message, great time is spent while being watched.
