7/10
It was okay.

The movie Nerve is about a live-streaming game that's like truth or dare, but with only dares and cash prizes. It's a popular underground game in the U. S. that law enforcement can't seem to catch. Nerve is a movie that reflects society's love for the Internet and online games. It's about Emma Roberts' character, Vee, who plays the game after a breakup. She partners with Dave Franco's Ian and becomes obsessed with the game. As she completes more dares, her popularity among the "watchers" grows, and the dares become more dangerous.

Nerve is a movie that deals with real-world issues such as technological threats, instant-celebrity culture, surveillance, and voyeurism. It is set in neon-lit New York City and shows the darker side of the game. Vee and Ian explore the hidden realms of the cyber world, and the thrills build up to a climax that is comparable to The Hunger Games. The resolution is satisfying, although it feels a bit rushed.
