Today, I'm going to talk about a movie that really gets on my nerves (Heh, you see what I did there? It's called Nerve, and... never mind. Just pretend I didn't say that.) But in all seriousness, I've seen tons of trailers playing on YouTube and on TV, so it's gotta be a total hit if it wants that much attention, right? But if you know how my reviews work, the answer to that question is usually no. So watch out before you dare to watch this movie, as I uncover the truth about this new action movie.

Have you ever been at a slumber party and played Truth or Dare? It's a fun little game until someone decides you can only do dares, then everybody just wants to stop playing afterward. Well, that's the situation with Nerve. Nerve is pretty much an online dare game that random people just compete in, but they can win great amounts of money and viewers by doing these outrageous tasks. And when I say outrageous, I mean extremely unrealistic and beyond legal limits. What were the characters thinking when they signed up? Plus, the dares aren't even exciting despite their lack of reality, as they provide no shock or horror to keep the audience interested enough. The only thing the audience sees is the message that the movie constantly preaches throughout the film, which is not an interesting one.

I've seen many people complain that technology is ruining people's lives, and I don't need a supposed action movie try to lecture me about it. If I wanted that, I'll just watch the Snowden movie that is coming out soon. These characters are so highly stereotyped as rebellious teenagers obsessed with social media that it dilutes the problem. I mean, one of the characters joins Nerve just so she can prove to her friends that she's not afraid to take risks. I think the better step you should have taken is to show at least one lick of common sense! Jeez, it's like watching people fight on social media just to get attention. It's frustrating and highly annoying.

Nerve was supposed be creepy earlier on, but it lost its touch further on. The people that run Nerve are supposed to feel omnipresent and that they're always watching. Too bad these characters are usually to busy looking at their phones and causing drama that they barely notice. Even the audience doesn't feel intimidated by them. Nerve is also supposed to popular with young teens, and they are paying 19.99 to watch it. But why? Why would you watch people putting their lives on the line to do stupid stuff on a competition. This sounds like the Hunger Games for 2016.
