Marvel star Chris Pratt and Dune star Rebecca Ferguson's new AI thriller Mercy has debuted to less than impressive reviews just days before its release.
Set in the near future, Mercy follows Pratt's detective, who stands on trial for the murder of his wife and is given just 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an AI judge, played by Ferguson. Despite the dangers of AI being a hot topic right now, critics are saying that Mercy fails to offer up a new, more timely take on the subject – and instead regurgitates themes explored in previous sci-fi movies such as Minority Report and Blade Runner.
