Moviegoers are saying
"358721" (titled "Mercy") splits audiences down the middle with its ambitious AI courtroom thriller concept that has Chris Pratt literally sitting in a chair for most of the 90-minute runtime. While critics savage its execution as a poorly written "Minority Report" wannabe with problematic pro-AI messaging, general audiences are surprisingly engaged by the twists, visual effects, and timely AI surveillance themes - though many admit the shaky-cam cinematography and predictable plot points hold it back.

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.
