Mercy Ratings & Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Frustratingly uneven...
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
I have a problem with movies about men who women cannot resist.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
Mercy is a romantic drama with some good qualities -- among them earnestness and strong performances -- but not enough to completely overcome the strain of its clichs.
New York Press
Mark Peikert
There's a frayed romanticism to Caan's script that belies his swaggering air of machismo; this is a man who understands the price of love, even if Johnny can't, or more probably, won't.
Boxoffice Magazine
John P. McCarthy
Caan's decision to cast real-life pals such as Jane Fonda's son Garity, McDermott and John Boyd (as a blabbering lovesick friend)--not to mention his father--makes sense, but the decision to leave out the heart of his narrative doesn't.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Scott Caan delivers a complex portrait of a womanizing bully with a cream-puff heart.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Scott Caan, of all people, playing a writer of romantic novels?
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
With Glenn offscreen for huge sections of the film, Mercy devolves into yet another navel-gazing drama about a glib cad redeemed by the love of a good woman.
NewsBlaze
Kam Williams
A sentimental sitdram about whether or not a long-distance liaison between an artist and his worst critic has a fighting chance of blossoming into love.
Village Voice
Karina Longworth
Mercy looks like an Urban Outfitters catalog and plays like A Very Special Episode of Entourage, only sporadically convincing that it's taking such form to mobilize a critique of the same.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Don't let Mercy's title fool you, as there's no clemency here, from clich or pretentiousness.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
Caan's touchingly clueless longing makes Mercy stand out as an adult romantic drama that earns its hankies
