“It reminds me of a throwback to Speed or something like that, where every second you’re kind of on the edge of your seat,” Chris told Access. “I showed the film to my son and to my wife, and both of them had their knee bouncing up and down and didn’t talk the whole time.”
Mercy – which also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Annabelle Wallis, Kali Reis, Chris Sullivan, Kylie Rogers, Jeff Pierre, Rafi Gavron, Jamie McBride, and Kenneth Choi – is scheduled to hit theaters on January 23, 2026.
