  2025 REVIEW

  Bong Joon Ho is making a sci-fi dark comedy starring Robert Pattinson?  Shut up and take my money.

And after watching Flight Risk, I’m in utter disbelief that Mel had anything to do with the filmmaking here. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this to be great, but this movie turned out significantly worse than I thought. From the…
