Why watch?

Chris Pratt chasing Rebecca Ferguson across the entire film, she's got something he wants, and the chase is so relentless you barely get a breath. Director Timur Bekmambetov shoots action you can actually follow — not quick-cut mush — and it's genuinely clever, especially when the pursuit bounces across different parts of the city. It's a thriller with no padding, every scene shifts something.

Who is it for?

Watch this on an evening when you want fast action without overthinking it. Chris Pratt as a convict is the kind of character that works best at this pace — if you liked Escape Plan or Fast Color, you'll be satisfied. It's not overly violent, but it's definitely a thriller for adults, not for kids.

If you dug Mercy for its high-pressure thriller vibe where the protagonist has to outsmart the system in real time, check out Denzel Washington's The Commuter or Vince Vaughn's Unhinged. Both nail that same locked-in intensity: one guy, mounting odds, ticking clock. If you also liked the sci-fi sheen of Mercy, Dredd scratches that urban dystopia itch — raw action, no filler.

Classic overview

In the near future, a detective stands on trial accused of murdering his wife. He has ninety minutes to prove his innocence to the advanced AI Judge he once championed, before it determines his fate.

Chris Pratt plays detective John Kross, a man who once championed an AI-run court system called Mercy — until he's accused of murdering his own wife and finds himself facing the machine he helped create. Director Timur Bekmambetov traps you in a high-stakes race where Kross has exactly 90 minutes to prove his innocence before an algorithm decides his fate, and the rulebook has flipped: the accused must prove they didn't do it, not the other way around. Rebecca Ferguson is there as things spiral, adding another layer of tension to a premise that works like a pressure cooker. If you liked the countdown urgency of Buried or the systemic paranoia of Minority Report, this one's built for that same kind of mounting dread.
