What to Know

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.

Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine 1d
2/5
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. Go to Full Review
Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 2d
2/5
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. Go to Full Review
Donald Clarke Irish Times 2d
2/5
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. Go to Full Review

This largely feels like a demo for Timur Bekmambetov's screenlife gimmick rather than a sci-fi with anything worth saying. Go to Full Review
