"Mercy" is a Pro-AI Sci-Fi Thriller that Barely Makes Sense
Even without the messaging, Mercy does not hold up as a movie. It's sloppily done and the mystery doesn’t tie together at the end.

İpek broke up with Furkan, whom she loved deeply and believed had cheated on her. After Furkan, she became engaged to Cengiz, who had not fallen in love with anyone else but showed interest in her. On a day when Cengiz was not at home, while preparing a birthday surprise for him with her closest friend Simge, they were caught off guard by another woman. After this second betrayal, İpek falls into a deep depression. İkon organizes a boat trip with her to take her mind off things, and they go on a boat trip together. When they go on the boat trip, İpek's first love from years ago, Furkan, goes on a boat trip with his girlfriend Esra. When İpek sees him, she is both impressed and angry. Although she wants to leave the boat, Simge convinces her to stay, and they continue their vacation. Toward the end of the boat trip, every time Furkan and İpek meet, the atmosphere becomes tense, and İpek can't take it anymore and wants to get off the boat.

One of the great achievements of this film is its ability to challenge the mind and to force you to try to process information in a different way than you’re used to.
Where we leave the characters is in such a peaceful and optimistic place. It feels well-earned to ensure everyone gets their own specially-crafted happy ending.
It’s the most loving tribute to cinema and to Ingmar Bergman, set in world that feels so habitable that I felt like only re-watching this for eternity, because of how inviting it looks and feels.
Given that Charlie Cox is having a moment with the rise in interest in 'Daredevil,' let's return to one of his earlier movies: the fantasy romance 'Stardust' where he shines amidst a slew of characters, from a stereotypical witch to a crossdressing pirate.
It is as bad as your remember, and you are fortunate if you've never watched it. Keep it that way!
