Mercy: The Algorithm Wants Your Lunch Money
Chris Pratt wakes up strapped into a futuristic courtroom chair with 90 minutes to live and an AI judge who looks like Rebecca Ferguson, so naturally the movie turns into Minority Report: Touchpad Edition. Pete Wright, Andy Nelson, Tommy Metz III, and Steve Sarmento argue whether Mercy is a cautionary tale about surveillance and AI… or just a very shiny roller coaster that keeps finding new ways to trip over its own shoelaces.
