*"I wish that we could've met some other way. I don't" ⋆˚꩜｡💻🥤📱🚲🏍🌉🏓🚦🎠🪜🚉🌃🏗🗽 This movie is severely underrated, it's has such a cool concept where it's like a real-life dare game, I Low-key wish nerve was real because I would definitely be a player! ᯓ★ I'm obsessed with the sheer aesthetic of this movie, with highly stylized, kinetic, and neon-infused visuals that mirror the seductive, fast-paced, and potentially dangerous world of its anonymous online dare game! ᯓ★ You could so classify this movie as a thriller, adventure, AND romance because Emme Roberts and Dave Francos chemistry in this movie is insane! ᯓ★ The only thing that slightly lets this movie down is mgk being in it! *recommendations list 🎬 **

Whoa, this movie really lived up to its name—my nerves are shot! I was on edge the entire time. That plot twist was absolutely wild. Also, Dave Franco? Effortlessly handsome as always.
