Is “mercy” worth your time?

This movie has some believable performances Kali Reis, annabell wallis, chris sullivanand kylie rogers. Collider’s Jeff Ewing said in his review, “Pratt gives a thoroughly commendable performance, and Ferguson excels as an AI judge.” Add more:
“Some developments happen a little too quickly. Even if you’re watching on the big screen, details fly by so quickly that if you blink, you’ll miss them. There are also some logical problems with the various plots and character plans, and the world only makes sense in the most superficial of ways. There are certainly successful elements to the screenplay. There are some frustrating moments that simply needed another draft to tie up the knots. That said, I’d say the foray into sci-fi territory is successful, thanks to its willingness to expand on the established rules of the subgenre, creating an entertaining murder mystery that keeps viewers guessing. ”
