Mercy review: Chris Pratt's new AI sci-fi thriller is so haphazard, you'll wonder if ChatGPT could do a better job of writing it

Chris Pratt's new AI sci-fi thriller "Mercy" places the actor in front of a computer screen for most of its 101-minute runtime as his character faces an AI judge (Rebecca Ferguson) after being wrongfully accused of murder. The film suffers from cheap-looking graphics, tired social media storytelling, and refuses to take a clear stance on AI's role in society, instead delivering vague messaging about both humans and AI making mistakes. Despite Ferguson's strong performance, the movie feels generic and monotonous, failing to capitalize on its timely subject matter.
