Mercy: The New AI Judge Film That Pits Man Against Machine

Ezekiel Diet Note:  After a little over a week on vacation in Florida I realized there must be up to a 100 terabytes or more of hard drive space of video and data documenting my vacation.

I bet AI could recreate a real life documentary of my vacation from auto, business, Flock, and state cameras, GPS phone locations, crossed with charge card activity, and if it had access or could hack cameras at stores, restaurants, hotels, parks, state parks, gas stations, etc. I interacted with.

BUT IF…..

All cameras (PC/Ring/Phone/Flock), phone GPS, car cameras front and back, and PC and car microphones were required by law to be connected directly to the surveillance state grid system for access by anyone with “Watcher” status. This could be churned out in summary video in minutes.

That’s what this predictive program movie is about. Some say this is futuristic. I say, I don’t think so. We’re on the edge of this as storage space becomes available.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Atlas Entertainment and Bazelevs Company’s Mercy (dubbed from the Hollywood film of the same name; UA) is the story of AI-driven justice system.

A respected police officer, Chris Raven (Chris Pratt), who was instrumental in designing a state-of-the-art AI-driven justice system, finds himself accused of murdering his wife. He must now race against time to prove his innocence because judgement is passed in 90 minutes of the commencement of the trial. Delivering the judgement is an AI judge — Maddox (Rebecca Ferguson).

Marco van Belle has written a story that may be futuristic but it, nevertheless, appears relevant because of the way Artificial Intelligence is taking over our lives. Belle’s story may be new but the screenplay doesn’t keep the viewers completely satisfied even though it is fast-paced. That is probably because the drama often appears unbelievable and ahead of the times. Because of the role of AI in delivering justice, several points in the screenplay look like instances of convenient writing.

Chris Pratt gives a fine performance as police officer Chris Raven. Rebecca Ferguson is effective as judge Maddox. Annabelle Wallis is alright as Chris Raven’s wife, Nicole Raven. Kylie Rogers is okay as Chris’ daughter. Kali Reis (as Chris’ partner, Jacqueline Diallo), Chris Sullivan (as Chris’ friend, Rob Nelson), Kenneth Choi (as Ray Vale), Rafi Gavron (as Holt Charles), Jeff Pierre (as Patrick Burke) and Tom Rezvan (as the governor) lend good support.

Timur Bekmambetov’s direction is fairly nice. Ramin Djawadi’s background music is alright. Khalid Mohtaseb’s cinematography is appealing. Alex McDowell’s production designing is of a fine standard. Editing (by Austin Keeling and Lam T. Nguyen) is sharp. Dubbing is proper.

On the whole, Mercy may be a well-made film but its chances at the box-office are bleak.
