So, what'd you do if you had an iPhone, and a different but similar game to Pokemon Go? Well, if you were someone like 17-18 year old Vee Delmonico (EMMA ROBERTS), you'd play "Nerve", the game where "watchers" watch you "play"...if you know what I mean. Emma's fellow players are best pals Sydney (EMILY MEADE) & Ian (DAVE FRANCO, brother of JAMES) who get caught up as other friends, most notably Asian Liv (KIMIKO GLENN most known for "Orange is the New Black") are watchers. This takes a devilish turn..devilish, when Ian and Ve(Venus) get on motorcycle, racing across their native (nighttime Brooklyn, New York NYC!) streets then Vee goes it alone. We also get Sydney doing a daring young girl on a..not flying trapeze but on a ladder between two apartment buildings, dangerously falling through (not seriously hurt though) while, after confronting HER back from her daring bike-a-thon, VEE sueceeds at. The game gets much more challenging with sinister, mysterious figures watching and making it a televised, even family threatening bet.

You wanna real dangerous game and enjoyable..see this flick..

Just early into the New Year, I, one who saw this in its 2011 original release, and am watching it right now, on Amazon Streaming, have finally taken it upon myself to review it six years now.

To jdkraus from Mainevillo, Ohio. Just with all due respect, you're a wee bit off with your proffered 2008 release date for "Taken", the earlier, somewhat similar monster blockbuster, but it was one year behind, 2009 the real release date,so no harm done with the wrong date, since 2008 was before 2009.

Now onto the review. This film, with Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, and January Jones, taking time off from some TV "Mad Men", take the lead here.

Neeson is a spy who goes overseas with wife Jones, goes in a taxi, crashed into a navigable river, and then winds up amnesiac in the hospital. He knows of being Dr.Martin Harris (but it's not sure and I sure as heck ain't gonna spoil this here).. and then spends the first part of the flick running up against an impostor, a January Jones who does not even recognize him, a kid-nap, or adult spy-nap..to coin a phrase, where he again winds up in some hospital, a sinister following by someone through a tunnel,, then meets Diane Kruger (always lovely as ever..) who becomes the best person to happen to him, almost a girlfriend, and offers him (Neeson:)"a place to crash') This friendship is off and on as she b word slaps him at a hip disco, suspecting something, wins up with wife Jones, being more her Mad Men husbands type, and from here I ain't gonna spend any more time here, because it would spoil it.

You just gotta watch, or what ever, or hey. Read other reviewers.

Everyone, including Fox, has been "Taken" (a-hem!) with LIam Neesonm, and it shows with films (this is from Warners,though,not Fox) Trademark of losing or looking for someone or something is a longtime, and patented Neeson trademark, but commercially and creatively, you have to admit, it works. No big chases a lot with Fox's Taken movies but still a very good thriller.r

This was a short lived amnesia spy show that I only occasionally seen..comparisons with the 2011 Liam Neeson flick "Unknown", and as the first reviewer also noted, "Bourne Identity'(forgot that series..). This becomes a real popular theme...but it doesn't get used more often.

This show was so odd that it wasn't rerun..or even given closure (no big surprise for many shows..)..or a video release.

8 out of 10 at least for something unique. Even if it seemed a bit weird. But now with the Matt Damon "Bourne series", and thanks to the first reviewer for refreshing the old cranium here, and Liam Neeson "Unknoqn", this gimmick in a popular state has gotten a favorable status with producers and, as box office shows, fans.
