Imagine a movie, aimed at the teen and millennial audience, that captures the zeitgeist of social media and the obsession with internet celebrity. Mix that with a touch of YA genre movies such as The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner with a splash of David Fincher’s The Game and that sounds potentially cool, right? Now, imagine it’s directed by the father of one of the target audience who wants desperately to be cool and set it to a dime-store knockoff blend of the Tron Legacy and Drive soundtracks. That, crushingly disappointingly, is Nerve.
The film focuses on Venus Delmonico, a high school senior, played by Emma Roberts. She’s the boring, studious one in her group of friends – she’s into photography, is awkward with boys and wears jeans, sneakers and a hoodie so she must be, right? Emily, played by Emily Meade, is the exciting leader of the group – she doesn’t wear a bra, she flashes her butt at a school football game etc – and she’s, like, super popular on an online game Nerve where people do dares for money. In Nerve, you’re either a Watcher, you set dares and watch people do them, or a Player, one of the people who take on challenges and increase in risk and value. Venus, or Vee for short because it’s soooo edgy, decides to prove that she’s not so dull and starts playing.
