The acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho returns with his latest project, Mickey 17, featuring Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in Twilight and The Batman. In this film, Pattinson plays an "expendable," a character tasked with venturing into perilous environments, only to be cloned and sent back upon death. This role echoes Pattinson's previous character, Cedric Diggory, whom he humorously suggested he'd like to revive.
In his review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha delves into the philosophical aspects of the film, describing Mickey 17 as a sci-fi comedy that, despite its bleak tone, confronts contemporary political issues. 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."
