Synopsis:

"Mercy" (2026) is a sci-fi thriller film directed by Timur Bekmambetov. The story is set in a future Los Angeles, where the justice system has been taken over by an artificial intelligence (AI) called the Mercy Program.

The story follows Detective Chris Raven, who is accused of murdering his wife and has only 90 minutes to prove his innocence in front of the AI supreme judge, Judge Maddox. Raven must gather digital evidence from various sources, including camera footage, phones, and databases, to reconstruct the events and find the real killer.

The film explores profound questions about justice in the era of advanced technology and questions whether justice can truly be served by a merciless machine. "Mercy" offers an intense viewing experience, combining action, psychological tension, and captivating futuristic concepts.

Reviews of the film are quite positive, with some critics praising the storytelling technique that makes the audience feel involved in the investigation. However, some critics also mention that the premise is not entirely original.

This film stars: Chris Pratt, Rebecca Ferguson, Kali Reis, Chris Sullivan, Annabelle Wallis and more.

In my opinion:

Hey, Mr. Star-Lord! The story idea is AWESOME! In a city ravaged by crime, the supreme judge uses a highly intelligent AI as judge, jury, and executioner named Maddox.

Your eyes will be treated to the technology and virtual reality created by Maddox to help Raven uncover the crime he's accused of. This film is a complete crime package, featuring murder, theft, embezzlement, personal vendetta, and a crazy idea about a bomb that could wipe out thousands of lives.

It's a fantastic collaboration between humans and AI. Raven uses his detective instincts, while Maddox, the AI supreme judge, has all the data and facts. From the plot above, I was still given a shocking ending about the perpetrator. Oh God, this film is CRAZY!

The visuals, audio, and cinematography are unquestionable; it's Hollywood material. Not to mention the acting by Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson; they're truly triple-A artists. I might sound over-the-top praising this film, but IT'S THE TRUTH!

I'm thrilled to finally have an amazing film on my desk *sob*

For me this one is 9/10.
