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.

A can’t-miss event for the subset of viewers fascinated by the screenlife format. For those who aren’t part of that group, Mercy will either be a solid, by-the-numbers program...or a migraine-provoking nightmare.

2.5/4

Fans expecting Chris Pratt to do his superhero thing will be disappointed. He’s in time-out. Strapped to his seat.

2/5

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.

4/10

It clears low expectations in the first half, then the back half completely collapses under the weight of its own "ambitions." The story veers from simple and effective to absurdly convoluted in what feels like seconds.

4/5

We often complain that filmmakers aren’t willing to do anything new or fresh in cinemas these days – yet here we see Bekmambetov doing an amazing job and delivering an edge-of-your-seat thriller with a real difference.

Great premise that's executed about as well as the AI judge does its job. You're not Hannah Montana, 'Everyone makes mistakes' should not be the moral takeaway in this situation.

It was an okay movie. I would not recommend it to most movie goers. You can tell it's 95% AI. It's ridiculous how companies expect us to buy anything they put out. It's so pathetic!!
