Nerve (2016)

Fast movie, short entry: "Nerve" starts well, with an idea of an online game/social network where the users are split in two - players and watchers. The second category commands tasks to the first category and funds their accomplishment. As the trailer shows sometimes the players have to deal with extreme stuff. And as weirdest the task as better is the payment. Finally, after 24h the winner takes the the money. Or at least that's what the rules say ...

The story is catchy and seems believable up to some point. As main character we have Vee, a girl who gets more and more trapped within the game until things start complicating. The bad part is that: first, the ending seems a bit far fetched, and second: despite the clear main target that's somewhere in the range of 15-20, it still felt a bit too immature. Perhaps if I wouldn't have been working in IT I could get over the first part (= I'm subjective on that), but we can't get rid of the second ...
