i wanted to like this movie,but i just couldn't.it'a a formulaic crime dram,but that isn't the problem.the problem is,it's slow and unexciting for the most part.it has a few good moments,but those are few and far between.i felt like i was waiting for ever for something to happen.Richard Gere stars with Kim Basinger.Geer was decent,but not fantastic,and i was not at all impressed with Basinger in this particular movie.there's a also a romance angle that i didn't find convincing or interesting.i won't say who the characters involved are,but i felt zero chemistry between the actors,which is sorta important for any romance aspect.i also thought some of the dialogue was a bit silly.overall,i was fairly bored with this movie.it's not terrible,but not very good either.my vote for No Mercy is a 4.5/10
