The acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho returns with an intriguing new project, Mickey 17, featuring Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in Twilight and The Batman. In this film, Pattinson plays an "expendable," a character who is repeatedly sent into dangerous situations, dies, and is cloned to repeat the cycle. This concept echoes Pattinson's 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 film's philosophical aspects, describing Mickey 17 as a sci-fi comedy that, despite its depressing tone, confronts its audience with its pessimism. He notes that the film transforms a straightforward novel into a sharp critique of contemporary political dynamics, holding everyone accountable for their actions within this context.
