Acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho returns with his latest cinematic venture, "Mickey 17," featuring Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in "Twilight" and "The Batman." In this film, Pattinson plays an "expendable," a character repeatedly sent into perilous situations, only to be cloned and sent back time and again. This narrative echoes the fate of Cedric Diggory, a role Pattinson played and one he wishes could have a second chance at life.
In his review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha delves into the philosophical depth of the film, noting its blend of sci-fi and comedy. He describes "Mickey 17" as a film that, despite its depressing tone, confronts viewers with its pessimism. It transforms Edward Ashton's novel into a reflection on current political climates, holding everyone accountable for their actions within larger systemic forces.
