In the near future, a detective (Chris Pratt) stands on trial accused of murdering his wife. He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to the advanced A.I. Judge (Rebecca Ferguson) he once championed, before it determines his fate.

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.

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.

Mercy isn't a masterpiece, nor does it pretend to be. [Full review in Spanish]

3.5/5

But everything preceding the decline is an effectively taut real-time "screenlife" thriller, a clever and innovative take on the "falsely accused innocent man" subgenre from interestingly flawed filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov.

"Mercy is already a strong contender for what could be the worst movie of 2026."
