    Mickey 17

    ★★★½

    Even though I don’t think this is a great movie it’s still one worth going to see. Despite its faults you can still feel the love and care people put into it, and comes close to being something really great and unique. 

    When you sum up its parts, you see a weirdly edited hodgepodge of socio political ideas in sci fi wrapping paper. It isn’t cohesive and it’s hard to keep invested throughout the runtime with scenes and characters constantly…

    The movie dragged its feet in the third act. These two self-righteous slick boiz are whiny bitches, I started getting tired of their antics. By the 90min mark I wanted the damn ball to start smacking racket.  Yet, the final matchup over indulged in its sexual fetishization of sport.  There was like 10 min of slow motion glamor shot, come on guys I get it’s a sexy movie but get over yourself.…
