The Mercy
In 1968, Donald Crowhurst, an amateur sailor, endangers the fate of his family and business, and his own life, blinded by his ambition to compete in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, attempting to become the first person in history to single-handedly circumnavigate the world without making any stopover.

unlabelledView post →That ad for the Mercy movie makes it look really goofy. The concept itself isn’t bad, but the execution is over-the-top, and I cannot take Chris Pratt seriously.
unlabelledView post →Like the movie Sinners, the characters in THE MERCY MAKERS *do* fuck (boy, do they ever). (I guess that kind of counts as a content warning. ) Besides that the book is *sensuous* AND *sensual* in its epic fantasy unspooling.

unlabelledView post →I just watched the Mercy movie as part of the fun bad movies list. They have chase scenes where the car they chase (and the cars chasing) keep changing colour/design shot to shot because AI can't do consistency yet It's a good movie to roast. 1.5/5.

unlabelledView post →Welcome to the Mercy Capital Court.... I watched Mercy Last week and it was my first real time film experience. The 90 minutes that Chris Pratt's character is trying to prove his innocence, is basically the length of the film. I highly recommend seeing it if you are into Sci-Fi or dective genres.

Except for Bison (no one can do it better than Raul Julia), this is looking like the most viable way of portraying a crazy ass fighting game as a movie (kudos for Mortal Kombat back in the day, anyway) I had zero hope, you can add the Mercy meme here now.

unlabelledView post →Based on the true story of aspiring round-the-world yachtsman Donald Crowhurst (Colin Firth) this rather disappointingly sluggish drama tries to engage us in the man's lifelong passion. A passion that jeopardises his business, puts him into debt and relegates his wife and two young children to second place as he reckons he can circumnavigate the globe in his catamaran. This isn't a story that I was aware of, historically, but the facts are undeniable so it's really all down to how director…
neutral · AI labelView post →I like Colin First enough to cut his films some slack sometimes, and this is one of those times. I thought the movie was entertaining overall, and well acted. At the same time I had a couple of problems with it. One was that I found the family flashbacks while he was at sea to be distracting. It wasn’t a big thing, but they didn’t seem meaningful or well placed as far as furthering the plot or his character. The other issue was perhaps because I wasn’t paying close enough attention, but a few…
