Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bekmambetov pioneered the 'screenlife' format with Unfriended and Searching; Mercy pushes it into action-thriller territory with drone POV sequences.
The film weaponizes real anxiety around predictive policing algorithms like COMPAS, which have been shown to produce racially biased outcomes in actual courtrooms.
