So, I don't know about you, but "Nerve" was one of the movies I've been most anticipating this summer. When I first came across the trailer on YouTube last month, I was immediately interested--who wouldn't want to watch Dave Franco run around NYC with the beautiful Emma Roberts?

I marked my calendar, and while I missed premiere day, I finally got my butt to the theater to see it today. I was expecting it to be great regardless, because of the cast--which in addition to little Franco and Roberts, includes rapper Machine Gun Kelly, and "Orange is the New Black" alums Samira Wiley and Kimiko Glenn. Great lineup, right? It definitely lived up to my expectations.

"Nerve" had more twists and turns than I thought it would, which made for an interesting film. The plot, which the trailer pretty much gave the jist of, is that Vee (Roberts), a high school senior who's always played it safe, decides it's time to take some risks and live a little. At the suggestion of her best friend, she signs up for the Internet game, Nerve, where you can choose to be either a watcher or a player. Watchers give players dares and the players record themselves completing the dares and as a reward, they get cash. Tempting, right? Wrong. The movie takes a dark turn after Vee teams up with Ian (Franco) and together, they must beat the game in order to be free of the Watchers.

It was very thrilling to watch. My friend and I were the ones in theater screaming "OH MY GOD, NO!!!" when the dares got to be too much to handle--sorry to the couple behind us. The movie definitely spiked our blood pressure a little.

Although I enjoyed the movie, it got me thinking about what would happen if such a game ever truly existed. While in theory a game like this sounds like good fun, the characters in the movie show us just how dangerous it actually turn out to be if put into the wrong hands. I wondered if I would have been brave enough to be a player, or if I would submit to my fears and simply watch. Some of the more fun dares had me choosing player, but it's the riskier ones that made me want to run and hide.

The game itself is sketchy, requiring you to use your fingerprint to sign up and depositing money into your bank account without you ever having to give your information. That alone should have been a red flag to our girl, Vee, but she played anyway. The movie highlights just how easy it is to take someone's identity all the while disguising it as fun and games.

Overall, I give this movie five stars just for keeping me on the edge of my seat the entire time. If you can go see it, you definitely should; it's totally worth it!
