In this explosive episode of WatchSkip+, hosts Cupcake (Jose) and TheWildabeast (Mike) deliver their most divided review yet of the 2026 sci-fi thriller Mercy, starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch), this IMAX AI courtroom drama has critics split down the middle. Is Mercy a brilliant screenlife movie exploring artificial intelligence and the future of the justice system, or is it the worst script of 2026? Our hosts debate Chris Pratt's casting, Rebecca Ferguson's AI judge performance, the film's real-time 90-minute format, and whether this thriller succeeds as social commentary on AI technology. If you loved Missing, Searching, Unfriended, or Bekmambetov's previous screenlife films, you need to hear this heated discussion. Plus: comparisons to Hypnotic, thoughts on the cast including Kali Reis and Kenneth Choi, cinematography analysis, and why this might be the most controversial movie review of the year. SPOILER-FREE episode - come back in two days for our full spoiler breakdown!
