Mercy (6.6/10)

This new Chris Pratt film had a lot of potential. The premise is intriguing, but the slow and somewhat difficult opening makes it hard to fully invest at first. Fortunately, the ending redeems much of that early struggle and ultimately makes the experience worthwhile. While the concept is undeniably cool and the finale delivers, the film as a whole doesn’t quite live up to its potential. It’s not a complete waste of time, but despite its strong premise and solid ending, it ultimately falls short of being a truly good movie. "In the near future, an advanced AI judge tells a captive detective that he's on trial for the murder of his wife. If he fails to prove his innocence within 90 minutes, he'll be executed on the spot."
