About

Synopsis

"Mercy Road" (2023) is an Australian thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director John Curran keeps things almost in real time — eighty-five minutes, one dark highway, Toby Jones on the phone, and Luke Bracey's Tom running out of both road and options.

Tom is a recovering alcoholic who has already lost most things worth keeping. When he finds out his twelve-year-old daughter Ruby was assaulted by her mother's new partner, he kills the man in a rage and runs. Then an anonymous caller gets through — claiming to know where Ruby is and giving him sixty minutes to carry out a set of increasingly difficult demands before she disappears for good. Jones delivers the voice with a quiet precision that makes every new instruction feel worse than the last. A lean, pitiless road film with a father's guilt at the wheel.
