Surprisingly good low-budget gem, 5 August 1999
Author: Ed Uthman (uthman@airmail.net) from Houston, Texas

MERCY starts off by lulling the viewer into believing he is watching a low-budget exploitative crime thriller, but unexpectedly the film turns into an incisive character study. The cast, especially John Rubinstein, Amber Kain, and Sam Rockwell, does a great job throughout. The only weak point is a very distracting, gratuitous scene in which the Rubinstein character meets a psychotic arms merchant, but this interruption is brief, and the plot soon picks up and builds to a satisfying climax.

This is the first Richard Shepard movie I have seen, and I plan to view more of his work as the opportunity presents.
