Mercy

What it’s about

In a near-future Los Angeles, the government has introduced an AI judicial system called "Mercy" to reduce crime. It decides guilt and enforces its own sentences. Two years later, police officer Chris Raven, who was the first to send a criminal to this system, is accused of killing his wife. He has ninety minutes to convince the machine of his innocence before it determines his fate.

What hooks you

Timur Bekmambetov directs Chris Pratt as Chris Raven and Rebecca Ferguson as Judge Maddox. The film is produced by Bekmambetov, with music by Ramin Djawadi. The story unfolds in a dystopian Los Angeles, where false accusations and a race against time drive the tension.

Who it’s for

It will appeal to those who like high-stakes thrillers with a technological edge, where an innocent suspect must beat a ticking clock. Viewers drawn to dystopian crime dramas and artificial intelligence as a force of judgment will find a tense, claustrophobic premise.
