The acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho is back with a new project, and this time he's joined by Robert Pattinson, known for his roles in Twilight and The Batman. In Mickey 17, Pattinson takes on the role of an "expendable," a character who is repeatedly sent into dangerous situations, only to be cloned and sent back after each death. Interestingly, Pattinson has mentioned that his character Cedric Diggory from the Harry Potter series is one he'd like to give a "second chance at life," which adds a poignant layer to his role in Mickey 17.
In his review for IGN, critic Siddhant Adlakha delves into the philosophical aspects of this sci-fi comedy, describing it as "confrontational by virtue of its pessimism." He explains that the film transforms Edward Ashton's novel into a reflection of current political realities, holding everyone accountable for their actions within this larger context.
