Hawt🔥Takez - Mercy Review

About this episode

The episode reviews the film 'Mercy' and discusses its unique desktop film approach and plot involving artificial intelligence.

Have mercy! But there was no mercy shown when having to confront Mercy (2026) in IMAX! From desktop film auteur Timur Bekmambetov, Mercy (2026) features Detective Chris Raven (Chris Pratt) sitting in a chair trying to prove to artificial intelligence Judge Maddox (Rebecca Ferguson) that he is innocent of murdering his own wife. He’s got 90 minutes to do so using all the bells and whistles of a desktop film, and the clock is ticking! He’s on FaceTime, he’s accessing emails and texts, he’s bringing up bodycam footage and security footage, he’s trying every technological trick in the book to prove he’s less than 92% guilty to avoid execution. Listen to our reactions as this hawt take definitely got heated up!
