I aim to keep my reviews short, spoiler-free, and focused on the key points to help you decide if a drama is worth your time. I never fast-forward and always strive to watch the entire series to give a fair and thorough perspective.

Mercy for None is what you’d get if John Wick ditched the guns for close combat and melee weapons, and turned the gore up several notches. It's brutal, relentless, and leans fully into the one-man-army formula. Expect your typical genre tropes: a near-unkillable hero with thick plot armor, drawn-out fight scenes where characters hesitate just long enough to get themselves killed, and a high body count.

It’s not without flaws (the usual logic gaps of action revenge flicks are present), but if you can look past those, it delivers a solid, bloody ride. The quiet, brooding lead carries the film well, and there’s definite satisfaction in watching the worst characters meet well-earned deaths.

It’s well-acted and worth a try if you're into stylized violence and gritty revenge tales. Still, it had the potential to be more than just another genre entry if it had addressed some of its more obvious clichés.
