Mercy

Mercy has built a real following in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and fuboTV among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 1,480 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Chris Pratt sets the tone, and the world-building does the rest. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Mercy keeps coming up in conversation. Mercy uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. In the near future, a detective stands on trial accused of murdering his wife. He has ninety minutes to prove his innocence to the advanced AI Judge he once championed, before it determines his fate. Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. Mercy came out in 2026. The rules of Mercy's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Mercy fits the bill. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Watch for Chris Pratt in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.
