Mercy comes out the gate STRONG. Killer premise, instant tension, and a setup that makes you lean forward like “okayyy, this could be something.” The concept is slick — high stakes, ticking clock energy, and rules that seem clear enough to make the investigation feel dangerous and smart. For the first chunk, it really feels like we’re about to get a tight, cerebral thriller.
But then the third act shows up and just… throws the rulebook out the window. The AI starts acting (or failing) based on what the script needs, not the logic the movie itself built. The system that was supposed to be precise suddenly gets vague, convenient, and messy. By the end, it’s less “edge-of-your-seat thriller” and more “wait… that doesn’t even make sense.” A great concept that couldn’t stick the landing.
