If you enjoy movies and good cinema, this is not for you. If you enjoy audio books with pictures then is what you want. There is no acting only a character and his cellphone exchanging dialogue. The is no scenery just dark and occasionally distant lights. Albeit the occasional siren and flashing lights. One thing that was never explained and seemed. Gratuitous was that spider.. Do Aussies not know what to do with creepy crawlers? This so called film is lacking all the requirement for a movie i.e. Characters, story and of course acting. Money for this production was wasted since there was nothing to produce or direct. I'm sorry I wasted my time, I hope you don't waste yours.

Mercy Road is a 2023 thriller co-written and directed by John Curran (Chappaquiddick, Eden, Bloom, Tracks, Stone, and The Painted Veil). It was co-written by Jesse Heffring (Being Rachel, The Forgotten Ones, Sigma, and Coil) and Christopher Lee Pelletier. After committing an impulsive, vicious crime while searching for his missing daughter, a frantic father (played by: Luke Bracey from Point Break, G. I. Joe: Retaliation, Elvis, American Dream, Hacksaw Ridge, The November Man, and Lucky Day) goes on the run from law enforcement and soon begins receiving chilling calls from an unknown entity claiming to know her whereabouts. As he faithfully follows the caller's increasingly unhinged instructions, he is driven perilously close to the edge of sanity while discovering exactly how far he is willing to go to save his child!!!!

Mercy Road is a nice little independent thriller from director John Curran. This one has a very simple concept and execution that mainly deals with one main character. Luke Bracey has always been a solid actor, they were really trying to push him here in America a few years ago but none of his films performed as good as they hoped so he's mainly a supporting or character actor these days so it's cool to see him as the lead here. He really carries Mercy Road with his turn here. Toby Jones is great in this, he elevated the feature and Bracey with his presence here. Like I said before, this is basically a one person movie but it does have a very small cast and everyone is solid in Mercy Road. It kinda has a Hitchcock meets Lynch vibe to it. It's unique, I can see it not being for everyone but if you get it then you'll really enjoy it. RECOMMENDED!!!!

This movie is trash. It's intense, yes, but it makes absolutely no sense!! It's insanely monotonous...a guy in his truck the ENTIRETY of the movie. BORING!! The phone calls are frantic and the phone ringing constantly is ANNOYING!! The fact that the scenery (outside the truck) is dark and foggy is bothersome. I'd personally rather watch a movie that is 'bright'. Night scenes are perfectly fine, but the whole movie? PASS!! The ending is ridiculous and makes no sense. Not to mention that you have to surmise (from various phone conversations) what has transpired before he gets in his truck. The man on the phone that appears to have eyes and ears on him is absolutely unbelievable and not in a good way! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING THIS MOVIE! I repeat...DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. Keep scrolling!! Thank me later.
