Overview
- Set in 2029, the thriller traps detective Chris Raven before an AI judge named Maddox with 90 minutes to argue his case using device feeds and remote calls.
- Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson lead the cast under director Timur Bekmambetov, with the film opening in cinemas on January 22.
- Pratt described a “percentage of culpability” meter that starts at 96%, with thresholds reported around 80% for a leniency plea and above 92% triggering an automatic guilty finding.
- Bekmambetov and producer Charles Roven said no artificial intelligence was used in making the film, citing adherence to guild restrictions.
- Early reception varies, with some outlets calling the movie entertaining and others faulting it as predictable, as Pratt uses interviews to urge safeguards for AI and caution around cancel culture.
