The acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho is back with a thrilling new project, and this time he's teamed up with Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in Twilight and The Batman. In "Mickey 17," Pattinson takes on the role of an "expendable," a character who is repeatedly sent into dangerous situations, only to be cloned and sent back again. This concept echoes Pattinson's wish to give his character Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter a second chance at life.
In his review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha delves into the philosophical aspects of this seemingly dark sci-fi comedy. He describes "Mickey 17" as a film that confronts its audience with its pessimism, transforming a straightforward novel into a profound reflection of our current political climate. The film does not shy away from holding individuals accountable for their actions within this broader context.
