Mercy

This, really, doesn't have any redeeming qualities.

Where it loses points is in the rather cheesy fate that befalls one of heroes in the end - most people would see it coming all the way, and in retrospect, I did, too, I just kind of forgot about it. Where it gains points is in the incredibly human and believable story it tells: it's a tautly-written and well-paced story of ill-fated love that sweeps you up and holds you tightly in its grasp. In all, it's Scott Caan's best crack at a contemporary Clint Eastwood film, and it tells a well-acted little story about a volatile writer and the fragility of all that we love in life. It didn't quite dig deeply enough into the central couple's conflicting vocations - author and book reviewer - but as a study of its central character, I really enjoyed it.

I thought this was solid. I started to catch on to the 'twist', which isn't a 'twist' per se. Good performances all around.

Beautifully shot and poignantly written....loved it!

i loved it. Mellow in the beginning but it develops well.

Absolutely a puzzle, but a wonderful and tragic love story. Scott Caan does a fantastic job as the scarred playboy, who falls in love with with the woman who turns him down. Normally I do not enjoy choppy stories that bounce back and forth, but this one is a keeper!! I think John (Scott Caan) does a great job as the emotionally scarred writer who does not trust women, and he learns this so well while being raised by a single father who is bitter over his wife leaving, never to return. As the story pieces together bit by bit, the puzzle comes together to reveal a tragic story about a man opening up to love, loving, and losing. I give it four stars, only one deduct for the choppiness. Please watch and enjoy!

In "Mercy" Scott Caan has written a romance with a twist. This film is not so much about the story of Johnny (Caan) and Mercy (Wendy Glenn) as it is about a person's capacity to love. The subject of this love story is love itself. And though at first glance the film might seem a tragedy, its ending offers the hope of second chances, as Johnny chooses to remain open to the possibility of loving again rather than giving in to bitterness and remaining alone. "Mercy" is an interesting character study of those who have loved and lost and those who have never loved at all. Well written and well acted. Don't miss out on this little gem.

Love this film. Beautifully shot and a great story of love and loss
