| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Mercy |
|---|
A tough policewoman investigates brutal sex crimes and uncovers an S&M subculture among professional women in a Texas Town. In addition, she must deal with personal/sexual feelings that begin to emerge towards a potential suspect. The film has large gaps that were covered in the book that affects the films continuity. Subsequently, character development suffers.
