A Race Against Time Begins
What happens when the future of justice removes human emotion from the equation? In the pulse-racing thriller Mercy, Chris Pratt stars as a detective forced into a harrowing countdown: he has ninety minutes to clear his name—or face the death penalty.
Set in a world where artificial intelligence presides over criminal cases, the story snaps into motion the moment Pratt’s character becomes the prime suspect in the murder of his wife. With the system stacked against him and the stakes at their peak, every second becomes a desperate bid for survival.
Rebecca Ferguson as the Unyielding Voice of ‘Mercy’
Standing between him and execution is an entity known only as Mercy, an A.I. judge voiced by the ever-commanding Rebecca Ferguson. Cool, analytical, and fiercely uncompromising, Mercy operates beyond human reasoning—turning Pratt’s emotional plea into a battle of logic versus instinct.
Her presence transforms the courtroom into a technological labyrinth, where one misstep could seal the detective’s fate.
Directed by Timur Bekmambetov: A Visionary Returns
The film marks another bold project from Timur Bekmambetov, the innovator whose screenlife storytelling captivated audiences in Unfriended (2015) and Searching (2018).
Bekmambetov now elevates tension into a cinematic environment where high-tech justice meets human vulnerability—a blend that promises a tense, thought-provoking experience on the big screen.
