3 Months Later, Rebecca Ferguson's Divisive Sci-Fi Gem Surges on Streaming

Despite being quite relevant to the current world of AI, Rebecca Ferguson's cyberpunk thriller Mercy was a box-office failure, barely breaking even on production costs without marketing included. The actress plays Judge Maddox, an AI judge in the newly established Mercy Court that judges and executes those convicted of murder. The movie was poorly received by critics, with a 25% score on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. This reception was reflected in theaters, where it fizzled out after the opening weekend. However, viewers loved it, giving the film an 82% score on the same site. Mercy is now available to stream at home, and while it did not make waves on the big screen, the story is quite different now.
