I’m surprised by the negative reviews. Thought it still brought good action and plot twists. Maybe it was too close for comfort for some how AI and crime are eerily similar. Seeing it 3D seemed the best case scenario to enhance the AI special effects. Hope people reconsider watching this film…
SpindlyMan dislikedMercyKinda propagandaesque for pro AI and pro mass surveillance or I could be reading too deep into it. Anyway, the plot twists, if we’re generous, were about all that holds this together. Story reminds me of a less interesting remake of The Fugitive(1993). Acting is vanilla. CGI looks like a video…
Jollfoogfl lovedMercy8.8 a couple of minutes and I thought it was gonna be a low budget bad movie but it turned out to be great with Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson carrying it. The AI aspect was cool. The twists were why this is rated so high. Everytime it felt like we had everything figured out they would twist it.…

Felt like it was more streaming worthy than theater. Some inconsistent parts and felt that a better background origin of the AI judicial system would have been nice. Found it pretty entertaining though. Cheesiest parts for me was seeing Elphaba (I joke) flying around in the cop drone.. that was not…
Clay Werner dislikedMercy1.6 - I’m going to admit off the bat, this is a little better than 1 star movie (like maybe 2 star?) if I’m grading 100% objectively, but I’m not. And not even seeing it in IMAX could have helped it. This movie pissed me off. It’s cursed. It’s evil. I hated it. From the opening exposition that…
Ryan Wolf is "meh" onMercy5.8/10 Basic and Forgettable. War of the worlds (2025) but slightly better and less stupid. Pretty cool concept and I like how they throw you right into it. The acting is fine but the twist villain is extremely predictable. I also don’t like how they made AI just a helpful assistant other than a…
- BUTTERS likedMercy
Rewatch quality of this movie is very low. It was decent but the writing was cheesy and some of the acting was bad. I thought it would be a modern day minority report but it just didn’t execute. Predictable and bland. Some good moments and style at times. Chris and Rebecca had good acting but…
Oakley Frank is "meh" onMercyMy prediction and rating going into this is based off the trailer. Seems predictable: dude is blamed for the murder for whatever reason, even tho he probably didnt physically kill her he feels guilty cause he wasnt present in her life. Probably finds closure, proves hes innocent
Noah March is "meh" onMercy🫎🫎 Honestly, i thought the acting was mediocre in this. This non-linear spoon fed narrative gave me almost no room for imagination. I think this movie did do well with fast pace storytelling to induce anxiety and stress, however, the unoriginality in score, script, and commentary on AI was…

A different type of movie. using AI and 📷 from today's tech to use to find clues was interesting and concerning at the same time. a couple twists that I didn't see coming and a fun truck chase scene. loved the police air bike. nice to see an attempt to be original in…
MRmike ricklesThe only thing disappointing about this movie is that no one else was in the theater. It was interesting from beginning to end and even kept my wife's attention! Don't listen to the people who say it is no good. They are all wrong. This is a big Blockbuster movie with…
MRMarina RegniI was lured to this movie with a $5 off coupon. Now I see why. The premise is interesting, but as the story unfolds it becomes predictable. The only thing surprising about this movie is that it didn’t go straight to streaming.

It was a good movie! As someone against ai, I think this movie does a good job at highlighting the strengths AI poses for us, as well as its faults. Maybe not as broadly, but it does point it out for viewers to see and form their own opinions. I definitely recommend this…
CScheyenne schwartzAmazing movie, was on the edge of my seat. Chris Pratt does amazing as always.
PCPaul Crisp MinistriesI loved it! Scary that this could really happen
- BHBrian Holloway
The critics may not like this one but this one is worth seeing on the big screen. Go see it!!
JFJ fabraReminds me of the Tom Cruise movie Minority report...was actually pretty good and eye opening with AI stuff we're headed towards..
ABAaron BleickThe proof that taking out the gray area in the justice system is a terrible idea. Incredible striped

More than anything, this twisty dystopian thriller commits to the jittery anxiety of doomscrolling.

The work of everyone involved — from the sleepy performances to the crew doing an okay but never exemplary job — suggests a first draft, a sense of wanting to get the thing out and move on. At every minute of “Mercy,” you can practically hear the filmmakers saying: “Eh, it’s January. Good enough.

Taking place in real time, Mercy mercifully moves along fairly briskly. But after it’s over you’ll definitely feel the need for a digital detox.
