The Movie Most Like ‘Mickey 17’ Is 89 Years Old

Bong Joon Ho has established a style of zany, unsubtle storytelling with his American co-productions, and the latest, Mickey 17, is the most heightened, silly, and endearing of the bunch. The film stars Robert Pattinson as Mickey, the subject of an unethical cloning practice used for exploitative and dangerous labor while traveling to and settling on a new planet, and Naomi Ackie as Nasha, a security agent to whom he is completely devoted.
