MERCY: Kali Reis

What this episode covers

Kali Reis joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to talk MERCY, a tense, near-future thriller with a nightmare setup: a detective (Chris Pratt) is accused of murdering his wife, and he has 90 minutes to prove his innocence before an advanced A.I. judge (Rebecca Ferguson) decides his fate.Reis breaks down what it was like acting inside a story told through screens, cameras, and surveillance, and how she kept her performance grounded even when scenes weren’t built like traditional “two people in a room” moments. She also talks about trusting director Timur Bekmambetov’s calm, confident approach while the production juggled phones, monitors, drones, and the constant feeling that somebody is always watching.Plus, Reis teases what drew her to the project, the challenge of making a tech-heavy world still feel human, and why MERCY hits close to home as a story that feels just one step ahead of where we already are.Visit Nerdtropolis.comhttps://www.Facebook.com/nerdtropolishttps://Instagram.com/nerdtropolishttps://Twitter.com/nerdtropolis
