Director Timur Bekmambetov’s newest cinematic endeavor, *Mercy*, has been met with a wave of scathing reviews from international critics following its debut.
At the time of reporting, the film struggles with a dismal 20% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Reviewers have pulled no punches, describing the production as “tedious,” “incoherent,” and “haphazardly executed.”
The sci-fi thriller is set in the near future of 2029, centering on a police officer (Chris Pratt) who finds himself accused of his wife’s murder. The plot follows his desperate 90-minute struggle to prove his innocence to an AI-driven judge (Rebecca Ferguson).
*Mercy* arrived in U.S. theaters this week, with box office analysts projecting a modest $12 million opening weekend.
