Minority Report meets Judge Dredd meets GenZ phone addiction. Interesting premise undermined by a telegraphed twist and too many cop movie tropes.
The concept here is genuinely clever. An AI judge system that gives defendants 90 minutes to prove their innocence, with a detective who championed the system now strapped to the chair himself. It’s the kind of high-concept sci-fi premise that writes itself. And for stretches, it works.
Rebecca Ferguson is the surprise standout. Her AI Judge Maddox could have been a nothing role. Instead she brings real presence to what amounts to a face on a screen. Chris Pratt delivers more range than expected given he’s basically chained to a chair for the runtime. The constrained setting forces actual performance work rather than quip delivery.
The movie can’t decide if cops are heroes or villains. It fetishizes the badge in one scene, then condemns the whole system in the next. Jarring tonal whiplash that never resolves. And the third act twist is visible from orbit. Everything in acts one and two points directly at it. When it lands, you’re already past caring.
There’s a good movie in here trying to get out. The updated police procedural angle has legs. But they stuffed in every cop movie cliche they could find, and the drama gets overwrought. Trim the fat, cut the obvious twist, and this could have been something. Instead it’s solidly fine.
