    Mickey 17

    ★★★★

    Mickey 17 is an original sci-fi film with great performances but also has a heart and soul to its story and characters.

    Going into Mickey 17, I was very nervous about this film. The film went through numerous delays with its release date, and normally, when that happens, the studio has no faith in its film. However, that’s not the case here. Mickey 17 is a really good film, but it’s also a flawed film.
