More about Mercy
Chris Pratt stars as an LAPD detective who finds himself on the wrong side of the system he helped create. Accused of murdering his wife, he is forced to defend himself before an unyielding A.I. Judge — portrayed on-screen with chilling precision by Rebecca Ferguson. With just 90 minutes to prove his innocence, he must outwit the machine that once earned his trust before it determines his fate.
The film features a strong ensemble cast including Annabelle Wallis, Kali Reis, Chris Sullivan, Kylie Rogers, Jeff Pierre, Rafi Gavron, Jamie McBride, and Kenneth Choi. Written by Marco van Belle and produced by Charles Roven, Robert Amidon, and Majd Nassif, Mercy blends sci-fi tension with the urgency of a ticking-clock legal drama.
Mercy releases in Indian theatres in English and Hindi on 23rd January, 2026.
Chris Pratt on filming with LAPD for Mercy
Chris Pratt revealed that he performed stunts while working alongside the police. “It was really incredible. I mean some of the stunt work we did was really great,” he shared.
The Guardians of the Galaxy star said performing stunts wasn`t the most challenging aspect of his time with the Los Angeles Police Department. He also said, “We got to drive, cop cars and do some like cool bar fight stuff, but the majority of the difficulty was just kind of hearing some of these stories and wow, it`s a real testament.”
“Like we kind of take it for granted here we are in New York City, but there`s a homicide detective out there right now working a homicide. We don`t really see much about that necessarily in the news, but man, these guys are heroes, and the trouble that they encounter and the trauma they see on a day-to-day basis is really, really staggering,” he added.
