The acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho returns with his latest film, "Mickey 17," featuring Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in "Twilight" and "The Batman." In this sci-fi comedy, Pattinson plays an "expendable" named Mickey, who is repeatedly sent into dangerous situations, only to be cloned and sent back again. This concept echoes Pattinson's wish to give his "Harry Potter" character, Cedric Diggory, a second chance at life.
In his review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha praises "Mickey 17" for its philosophical depth, despite its dark tone. He notes that the film transforms Edward Ashton's novel into a reflection on contemporary political issues, holding everyone accountable for their actions within these broader contexts.
