Critics Consensus

Constricting its two stars inside an airless presentation of a clunky techno-thriller premise, Mercy is tedious enough to make you cry uncle.

Audience Says

Best seen in 3D, Mercy is a Pratt-tastic, high-concept whodunit for anyone who enjoys an edge-of-your seat, popcorn-fueled experience.

It has aspirations to be RoboCop but this feels more like autopilot. Pratt is committed and the plotting is sometimes effective, but Rebecca Ferguson’s non-Dredd-ful judge is the only good reason to watch it.

Everything’s laid on so thick, as slick entertainment, that it pretends to sound dire notes of caution while bouncing around as a whizzily inane high-tech romp.

There are no insights on screen that you won’t expect from speed-watching the trailer (or speed-reading this review). If this worst-case scenario does yet happen, it will surely not turn out quite so boringly.

Mercy emerges as one of those strange projects that fails to justify its existence or, for that matter, the involvement of A-list talent like Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson, truly baffling stuff

The high-concept execution is used well enough that the increasingly hare-brained plot developments all feel par for the course.

It's a lackluster tale of an AI-managed criminal justice system.

I liked it. It could have been a little bit better. I'd probably would have watched it at home but it was my time out alone so I picked this movie. All in all it wasn't too bad.

Very creative use of multiple AI technologies to frame this dramatic crime thriller! Fans of Chris Pratts action star performances may be disappointed, but his skill at acting while strapped to a chair for 90 mins does not disappoint!
