I'm not the target demographic here. If you like this movie then power to you. I just don't.
The concept is decent enough - slightly reminiscent of Fincher's The Game, a movie I really enjoy. But most of the "dares" in this movie aren't really that thrilling. And even if they were, it wouldn't be in service of much. The characters in this movie are dreadfully flat. The acting is actually pretty bad, too, and I usually don't mind these actors. It's hard to care about what's happening when it's happening to people the movie hasn't gotten me to care about. By the end, we're supposed to root for the romance between the characters and worry about what will happen, and yet the entire movie before this has given us no reason to.
The entire movie has an obnoxiously neon-color-corrected aesthetic that just looks like a music video. I know not everyone cares or pays attention to that sort of thing, but it's something that bothered me. Also, while the plot itself mostly makes sense, there are a few things towards the end that just don't make sense. (No spoilers, but it involves money transfers.) I just find this movie painfully boring. If you enjoy it, don't let anyone take that away from you. It's just my opinion, and if you're like me, this isn't for you.
