Mercy misses the mark but keeps the pace with a goofy sci‑fi twist
In the sci‑fi thriller Mercy, Chris Pratt’s LAPD detective is a murder suspect who must prove his innocence to an AI judge within a 90‑minute countdown in a chaotic near‑future Los Angeles; the film aims for high‑concept thrills and dark wit, but the Washington Post gives it about 2.5 stars, noting it’s ridiculous yet oddly entertaining.
