Detective "Raven" (Chris Pratt) finds himself in a bewildering situation: he awakens strapped to a chair and feeling rather unwell. He's confronted by “Judge Maddox” (Rebecca Ferguson), whose image appears on a screen, informing him that he’s been charged with murdering his wife (Annabelle Wallis). He is now under the jurisdiction of an automated justice system called "Mercy," which uses AI to assess various data points and calculate the likelihood of his guilt. The system indicates a probability nearing 97%, suggesting a bleak outcome for him. Naturally, he maintains his innocence, and as a result, he's granted ninety minutes to examine all available evidence—recordings, interviews—and conduct his own inquiries in an attempt to demonstrate his lack of culpability. What follows is a journey through a weekend that reveals uncomfortable truths about this police officer, along with insights into himself, his marriage, and his closest friend. I recently viewed “Incident” (2023), a documentary highlighting the extensive recording of our daily lives. Combining this with a fictional yet plausible society where individuals are legally required to connect their devices and social media accounts to a cloud system—one that leaves no aspect of life private or beyond governmental reach—creates an atmosphere reminiscent of Orwell’s dystopian visions. This is the foundation upon which the story rests, and initially, Pratt's captive state, along with his electronic judge/jury, offers a thought-provoking commentary on the potential consequences of our increasing dependence on the internet. However, once the narrative gains momentum, it quickly loses steam, devolving into a predictable drama that feels familiar. The ending lacks the boldness and conviction displayed in the story’s earlier, more unsettling moments. It's an acceptable, talky television thriller, but I left feeling quite disappointed.
