The acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho returns with a new cinematic venture, "Mickey 17," featuring Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in "Twilight" and "The Batman." In this film, Pattinson takes on the role of an "expendable," a person who is repeatedly sent into dangerous situations, only to be cloned and sent back again upon death. This narrative echoes Pattinson's sentiment about wanting to give his character Cedric Diggory a second chance at life.
IGN critic Siddhant Adlakha delves into the philosophical layers of "Mickey 17," describing it as a sci-fi comedy that, despite its bleak outlook, confronts contemporary political issues head-on. Adlakha notes, "Mickey 17 is confrontational by virtue of its pessimism, transforming a mostly straightforward novel into a stark reflection of how the current political moment came to be – albeit without letting anyone (least of all, those of us at the mercy of these larger forces) off the hook for our own transgressions."
