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.

The central premise is intriguing, but the movie never finds the right balance between screen-life and Chris Pratt blockbuster vehicle.

Mercy is an experience that sits between a fascinating premise and a careless execution, presenting a scenario of algorithmic justice that gets lost in narrative contradictions and plot conveniences.

"Mercy" chooses high-octane spectacle over an interesting and consistent opinion on the ethics of an AI legal system and its far-reaching impact on humanity.

Mercy was SO GOOD! It ended up being different from how I thought it would be. I enjoyed the twists. Parts, literally, had me on the edge of my seat. Like certain scenes did during Godzilla vs. Kong's battles.
