The curious youth technothriller "Nerv" as a modern work of the film industry is more relevant than ever. Finally, in Hollywood, they noticed that young people have almost completely "gone" to the Internet.

Most believable

The directorial tandem of Henry Joost and Ariel Shulman seriously announced itself back in 2010, presenting to the public a documentary titled "How I was friends on a social network." The picture was based on the study of sophisticated fictions of social network users who invented a parallel life on the Internet. After the directors took part in the creation of the third and fourth parts of the "Paranormal Activity", not forgetting the attractive danger of the World Wide Web. Their new feature film Nerve (starring A. Roberts, A. Mead and D. Franco) is based on the literary opus of the same name by Jean Ryan. The tape is dedicated to what young people are ready to go for the sake of "likes". The picture of Joost and Shulman is far from the first film project on this burning topic, but the most plausible.

Main Role

In line with genre policy, the creatorsyouth thriller was invited to the roles of the leading characters of exclusively young and little-known actors, however, with some exceptions. They became the performer of the role of the main character - quiet Vee, constantly leading to provocations, the American model and actress Emma Roberts. If we compare her professional experience with the rest of the participants in the film "Nerve", the actors-performers of other roles were not so often filmed in feature films. The daughter of the famous actor Eric Roberts gained fame after the role of Eddie Singer in the television series "Not Like That". Later, the niece of Julia Roberts starred in many films of different genres, for example, "Scream 4", "Terrible", "We are the Millers." Emma did not shy away from working on the creation of serials, the most famous projects with her participation are American Horror Story and Scream Queens. The cast of Nerve highly appreciated her professionalism and often turned to Emma for advice.

Girlfriend with friend

Roberts' screen partners are Emily Meade and Dave Franco. The role of the demoniac girlfriend of the main character, who is ready to sell her own mother for the sake of likes, was undoubtedly a success for actress Emily Mead. Before participating in the filming of the film "Nerve", the actress starred exclusively in TV shows. Her track record includes well-known projects: The Leftovers, Underground Empire, Edge, Broad City and others. The main actors of "Nerva" correspond to their characters only in texture, in reality, unlike her heroine Emily Mead, Emma is a decent and hardworking girl.

The image of a sassy alpha male with a dark pastembodied on the screen by an American actor, producer and director Dave Franco. The performer made his debut on TV in 2006 in the Seventh Heaven project. After receiving only episodic roles in television series. For the first time, Franco managed to declare himself in the series "Clinic". The actor consolidated his massive popularity by appearing in the movies Super Peppers and Harvey Milk. He received the main role in feature films in the film "The Illusion of Deception", in which he starred simultaneously with the filming of the film "The Warmth of Our Bodies", The role of the hero-antagonist was played by white rapper Richard Baker, for whom the film "Nerve" became his debut. Actors helped the musician in every possible way to master the wisdom of craftsmanship.

Reviews on the performance skills of the actors

Film critics, analyzing the demonstrated talent and professionalism of the actors involved in the production of the project, as one claimed that Julia Roberts' niece and James Franco's younger brother were quite convincing, attractive and almost together pulled the picture to a decent level. But even their charisma was not enough to smooth out all the script flaws, especially in the second half of the tape. And there was no one to help them, since in the movie "Nerv" the actors who played secondary roles did not have the necessary experience. Therefore, the best episodes of the tape were the scenes in which Emma and Dave play together, without an ensemble. By the way, the audience noted that Franco is amazing without a shirt, unlike Roberts, whose attractiveness does not depend on being naked.

Narrow-focused cinema

As a result, the film "Nerv" (actors and roles, script, visualization, musical accompaniment) is a curious example of modern cinema. It's a good but overtly teen thriller with charismatic performances, so it may not satisfy an adult audience.
