A trailer has landed for Rebecca Ferguson and Chris Pratt’s latest sci-fi/crime/thriller, Mercy.
Also starring Kenneth Choi, Noah Fearnley, and Annabelle Wallis, director Timur Bekmambetov’s film has Ferguson as the AI that must decide whether Pratt’s detective character murdered his wife.
I admit it, this trailer is better than the last, and I may still be unsure about how good this will be, but I’m leaning towards giving it a try because of how it’s shot. Ultimately, I want to see if this End of Watch (2012)/ Minority Report (2002) mash-up will work.
What are your thoughts on Mercy after this second trailer?
Rafi Gavron, Chris Sullivan, Kali Reis, Kylie Rogers, Jeff Pierre, Philicia Saunders, Renata Ribeiro and Jamie McBride also star.
Mercy Release Dates: January 23rd, 2026 (US & UK)…
Happy Film Loving,

This trailer is better. I think they made an effort after the reaction to the last one.
I agree about the likely increased effort. Time will reveal all, for sure.
I am a little concerned this is a film with greater abandon in the script than can be meaningfully translated to the screen. It could just be a 3D feast for the eyes with little substance. We’re gonna go to this one for sure, and hope there will be a storyline as riveting as the footage shown here.
‘It could just be a 3D feast for the eyes with little substance.’ I’m leaning towards this too, now, at this point. I’m sure that something about it will prove worth the investment in time. 🤓🥂
The realistic style feels crazy well done. I could not spot an obvious CGI shot after the first viewing, which is rare for me. Should be a fun ride, but I’m not expecting anything particularly original about the plot twists and turns as well as the ending.
I think you have the right approach, Uri. I’m going to halve my hopes and expectations. 😁🥂
I want to believe it could be good, but I’m just no sure.
Can’t blame you there. All we can do is hope for a pleasant surprise while reducing our expectations.
