Plot Summary

MERCY, a lush indie romance from actor/writer/producer Scott Caan, and directed by first time director, Patrick Hoelck, in an amazing transition from the world of fashion photography to filmmaking, follows Johnny Ryan (Caan), a successful young romance novelist who, as it happens, doesn't actually believe in love. At the launch party for his latest book, Johnny’s world is suddenly turned upside-down by the beautiful and mysterious Mercy (Wendy Glenn), the only major critic who dislikes his work. Johnny becomes determined to find the depth that Mercy says he is lacking and, in the process, falls in love. Featuring a moving on-screen collaboration between Scott and his father James Caan, and a stellar supporting cast including Dylan McDermott and Erika Christensen, MERCY explores the struggle of maintaining a relationship, and the possibility of losing it all.

Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: Scott Caan delivers a complex portrait of a womanizing bully with a cream-puff heart. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: 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 cliches. – Michael Ordona, Los Angeles Times, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: 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. – Karina Longworth, Village Voice, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: Scott Caan, of all people, playing a writer of romantic novels? – Lou Lumenick, New York Post, Jun 24, 2010

Customer Reviews

A passionate movie

A fantastic story about the human spirit. In my opinion, the central theme is acceptance. The struggle to accept life on it's terms and accept that we are exactly where we're suppose to be. How do remain faithful, when your very faith is tested?
