Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Just say no
A detective (Ellen Barkin) is hunting a sadistic serial killer and discovers that the victims belonged to an underground sex club. She enlists the help of a shady lady who helps her navigate this unknown world.

I want two hours of my life back. I struggled to stay awake during this convoluted story which is marred by bad acting, bad dialogue, and is essentially a pretty bad and predictable movie. Unless you're a Peta Wilson fan (there is plenty of her on display), this is definitely ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Little of Mercy
Is it a thriller or a drama or an action movie? Well the truth is that it is not one thing but a bit of a mixed salad. However if you looking for action with a big bang then read no further. If you looking for a thriller which incorporates ingredients of deep and dark psyche of the human mind then this is for you. Ellen Barkin plays a cop investigating a serial killer who is preoccupied with sadomasochism, sex and ultimately murder. Ellen has her own demons to conquer from realising her sexuality ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cool movie but paints a very poor image of BDSM
I enjoyed this movie but was rather irritated with the way it painted all kinky folk as emotionally damaged and sexually abused. That's a very negative stereotype and I hate seeing it perpetuated. Other than that, I liked it. The plot twists and turns nicely and there are some very hot scenes in it. There's some interesting eye candy in the cinematography that I enjoyed also (primarily in the dream scenes). If you're thinking of buying this movie because you're interested in BDSM a better choice ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best lesbian movies
I totally enjoyed this movie. I saw it when I was 15 years old and I never forgot the plot, however, I did forget the name. Few years later, my friend told me she had a 'great' movie at home. So we watched it and boom!!!, here it was Mercy! I immediatly bought it and keep loving it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - child abuse,lesbianism,anger.
Today,is may 29th,06. Rented movie. Excellent writing,great acting. Had to write a review,people don't think when they write a review. Ellen barkin is trying to figure out who the killer is. she asks petas character what she is hiding. The only thing she is hiding, is her own child hood abuse. That is the bases for the killings. the killer was abused her self as a child. But we think the killer is the crazy cross dressing psyciatrist.[spelling]The writer does an excellent job of useing his patients ... Read More
