The decision to watch this one can be simply boiled down to the fact that it can be boiled down to the fact that it’s been longer than I want to admit since I’ve last been to a cinema.

Now it’s to make connections to Minority Report considering both movies have similar concepts. But while watching this I found myself thinking that a court were there is a presumption of guilt seems to be the next step up from the concept of being cancelled on social media, especially considering that Mercy seemed to be set into the near future. There were some performances as I enjoyed most notably Kali Reis as “Jaq” Diallo and Chris Sullivan as Rob Nelson. Chris Pratt is definitely capable of a decent performance but from what I’ve seen of his work it’s usually when he’s apart of an ensemble cast and not as a leading man. Pratt failed to deliver the level of tension that you’d expect from a capital murder investigation and the action sequence in the third act was lacking. Now I’m willing to admit that Pratt isn’t solely responsible for this, some of the blame needs to be laid at the feet of director Timur Bekmambetov considering that different cultures have different ways of telling stories.
