Review of Nerve (2016) by Philip T — 26 Jul 2016

I really liked this film.

The cinematography and sound design were amazing, which is pretty surprising. I liked all the neon lights. The Dutch angles were well used too. The scene where they were talking in the parking garage and the scene where they were walking into the tattoo parlor were two great examples of this.

This script was something that was actually new and haven't seen in a long time. It was sort of like Fincher's The Game, but at the same time it was something entirely different. Some of it didn't make any sense, but at least it was a new and original idea.

My only gripe with this movie is that they can't expect me to believe that a girl as hot as Emma Roberts isn't viewed as attractive in the film and is perceived as a nerd.

8/10 in my book.
