Two tremendous dystopian whodunnit films

Two recently released dystopian thrillers are outstanding movies and both are available via streaming services.

Mercy (2026)

Released earlier this year, Mercy is a tremendously interesting and entertaining science fiction movie — despite what the critics may say. In fact, the reviews and ratings by viewers of the film are much, much higher than those of the critics.

Rebecca Ferguson and Chris Pratt are tremendous in their respective roles – Ms. Ferguson as the AI generated Judge Maddox of the Mercy Capital Court and Mr. Pratt as a police officer accused of murder. He has exactly 90 minutes to prove his innocence sufficiently to AI Judge Maddox (a threshold below 92 percent likelihood of guilt) or be summarily executed.

Mr. Pratt must prove his innocence while his arms and legs are locked into the execution chair by employing all sorts of evidence gathering techniques that access the court’s ties to the municipal cloud. All technological devices within the city (LA) must be registered to the municipal cloud so defendants can access them. This includes surveillance cameras, live action feeds, cell phones, databases, and other technologies available. He can do this by use of a small hand screen or through voice requests to the cloud and/or AI Judge Maddox.

You will definitely be on the edge of your set while watching Mercy!

Relay (2025)

Released to theaters in 2025, Relay is thoroughly entertaining movie and unique in its story/use of an older technology as the conduit to protect whistleblowers who are being tormented by those entities they called out or implicated.

Relay stars Lily James and Riz Ahmed, who both excel in this film. Lily James plays a whistleblower who is being harassed by powerful corporation that she has dirt on. Meanwhile, Mr. Ahmed play the fixer who uses old-fashion TTY (teletypewriter) relay service to communicate with his clients (the whistleblowers) and to those who are harassing them.

This movie fan does not recall seeing TTY employed in a movie before and certainly never in such a central role of the plot. Mr. Ahmed’s use of old-fashioned TTY technology makes his communications virtually untraceable. That premise alone makes Relay highly engaging, truly groundbreaking, and a definite must see!

Hope you enjoy both films too. Peace!

Bravissima anche #LilyJames (ora è il suo momento visto che stanno uscendo anche altri film con lei come protagonista) che interpreta una ricercatrice che sembra un po' svampita, pronta ad innamorarsi di qualcuno che la possa salvare, e in grandissima difficoltà per aver scoperto terribili segreti riguardo all'azienda multinazionale per cui lavorava e che ora la perseguita e la vuole uccidere per evitare che possa raccontarlo a qualcuno

Recita nel film come #cattivo anche il
