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.

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

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.

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.

It was somewhat interesting. It felt weird sitting in a theater chair, watching a guy in a chair for the most of the movie. but yeah I liked the graphics. I didn’t think it was fantastic or great, but it was OK.
