Critics Consensus

Nerve's fast pace and charming leads help overcome a number of fundamental flaws, adding up to a teen-friendly thriller with enough energy to occasionally offset its muddled execution.

Kristen Lopez Spectrum Culture Had Nerve stuck to the intrigue around online games, it could have been an efficiently entertaining piece of cinema. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald The denouement is ridiculous, the conclusion sketchy and the script's attempts to be hip are, in the end, slightly pathetic. Rated: 2/5 Sep 9, 2016 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) The secret weapon of the film is cinematographer Michael Simmonds, who has a whole bag of tricks up his sleeve. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 31, 2016 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews Some will love this, some will nitpick it, its entertaining for what it is but forgettable Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies By the time the story reaches its climax practically all logic is out the window. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Joe Lipsett Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast A neon-drenched thrill ride with a pair of really engaging lead performances by Roberts and Franco. It's a shame it falls apart in the ridiculous third act because the rest of the film is legitimately really fun Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 9, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Georgan G Interesting enough premise to keep me interested up to the very end. The idea of daring someone online is a little too close to reality. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Jeremy A We've seen this before. Its ok. The Dares are kind of innocent compared to other movies. 3.5* Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Jeffrey P Underwhelms as it plays it safe and stays on the touchy-feely side of things. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Sean M Decent enough film. Didn’t see the “twist” coming at the end. Pretty exciting movie all the way through. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Sarahí A It's perfect. I love this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review João B Nerve é um filme com um projeto de romance com a química mais inexistente que eu já vi entre dois atores, tem uma produção que não faz sentido nenhum (eles entram em uma simples cafeteria: filtro neon azul parecendo que estão em 2077, entram numa livraria: filtro azul estourando na vibe 2077, ATRAVESSAM A RUA: filtro azul estourando os olhos, NÃO FAZ SENTIDO ALGUM), personagens que ninguém se importa, uma trama tão adolescente que parece ser impossível de acreditar se sua descrença não tiver lá em cima, o estereótipo de "nerd" mais nada a ver que eu já vi e a única coisa que fica de interessante, é a ideia do aplicativo Nerve que poderia ter sido muito, mais MUITO mais explorada. No mais, parece só mais um filme pra pré adolescente e ainda sim é péssimo. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
