22 Mar
Summary
- Detective Chris Pratt accused of murder by AI judge.
- Pratt has 90 minutes to prove innocence using city's digital tools.
- Film explores themes of AI, justice, and creation.
In the year 2026, the sci-fi thriller "Mercy" presents a Minority Report-style narrative where Detective Chris Pratt faces a stark accusation: murdering his wife. His accuser is Maddox, an AI judge brought to life by an eerie Rebecca Ferguson, who also serves as jury and executioner.
Pratt's character has a mere 90 minutes to clear his name, utilizing the extensive digital resources available within the city. The film, which runs for 99 minutes, emphasizes this critical time constraint. Ironically, Chris was instrumental in developing the Mercy program from which Maddox originates, a fact that may prove crucial for his defense.
Despite a lukewarm reception at the box office, "Mercy" has found an audience appreciating its grand scale and star power. The film is now available for streaming on Prime Video, offering a tense exploration of artificial intelligence and justice.
