Review of Nerve (2016) by Willm — 28 Jul 2016
Nerve is a stereotypical teenage drama with a twist that seems interesting enough, but is poorly executed. Nerve gets points for excellent cinematography, a world that seems living and breathing, and keeping a consistent story throughout.
It also structures an underlying message of how we use our phone as a means to feel invincible just because you're behind a screen. However, Nerve has poorly written dialogue, a plot so predictable that you could've guessed by watching the trailers, and has characters so bland they might as well be on a cereal box.
The chemistry between our two main characters, Dave Franco and Emma Roberts, is forced and pivots off of cliches created by every teen drama to date. The basic plot to Nerve had so much potential and could've been a lot more philosophical and deep, unfortunately not much can be said about this movie that you will forget that you saw within a couple days.
