THE schlocky dystopian action thriller Mercy touts itself as having been filmed for IMAX, but that’s not such a selling point when almost the entire film is a dim close-up of Chris Pratt strapped to a chair.

This real-time AI mystery is a mashup of Judge Dredd and Searching, in which a Los Angeles detective (Pratt) has to prove himself innocent of murder during a 90-minute trial conducted by an artificially intelligent system called Mercy, presided over by an entity known as Judge Maddox (Rebecca Ferguson).
