Mercy: Were You Just Programmed Wrong And Pleading Not Guilty Clips

Amazon MGM Studios has released two new clips from Mercy, with one questioning the judge's programming and Chris Pratt's character pleading 'not guilty.'

Amazon MGM Studios is stepping onto the distribution stage in 2026, and we'll see whether its commitment to theatrical releases holds, regardless of how the films perform at the box office. Because the first one out of the gate is Mercy, and the more footage they show of us, the more this looks like at least three different movies we have seen before. Now, this is a problem that critics run into more than the public does. We see almost everything, so we've seen Plotline A play out a million times. However, if you don't watch many movies, you may not have seen a variation of Plotline A in a couple of years.

Mercy does come with the added benefit of Rebecca Ferguson , who is thankfully featured prominently in the two clips that were released today. The first is Chris Pratt's character explaining the film's thesis to the judge, which is that humanity is needed in the justice system, and the second is Pratt's character coming to the horrifying realization that the system he believed in is about to turn on him. They always seem to care once it impacts them or someone they care about.
