The acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho, known for his masterful storytelling, has returned with a new project, "Mickey 17," starring Robert Pattinson, famous for his roles in "Twilight" and "The Batman." In this film, Pattinson plays an "expendable," a character sent into dangerous situations, only to be cloned and sent back repeatedly. This role echoes Pattinson's previous character, Cedric Diggory, whom he humorously mentioned he'd like to "give a second chance at life."
In his review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha delves into the philosophical layers of "Mickey 17," describing it as a sci-fi comedy that, despite its surface-level humor, confronts its audience with its pessimism. Adlakha notes that the film transforms the original novel into a reflection of current political climates, holding everyone accountable for their actions within these larger forces.
