Parasite was released in 2019 and since then he has been busy with the excellent television series Snowpiercer but now he returns to the big screen with Mickey 17 and what a return it is! Set in a dystopian future with so many elements that mirror our present-day race into the abyss, the film vividly illustrates that his imagination and craft are as fertile as ever as is his socially biting commentary.

Robert Pattinson as the title character expands his craft and delivers a manic and unforgettable performance. He is matched Crazy for Crazy by fellow cast members Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette. The story dips into relevant topics like blindly following an ego-driven narcissist leader and embracing dangerous technology with little to no applied morality. Amidst all this is also a love story from the ages.

If you need a simple description to create interest, Mickey 17 could loosely be called science fiction but that is only on the surface and the depth of the message rivals all of Bong Joon Ho’s other works. This is a man who cares deeply about the human condition and is unafraid to tear the scab off to see what caused the initial injury. That he can create social commentary this biting that is never less than entertaining is the mark of a true original.

Frida (Naomi Ackie) and her gal pal Jess (Alia Shawkat) are two young ladies trying to make ends meet. When they get a job hostessing at a fundraising gala they come in contact with Slater King (Channing Tatum). The tech billionaire is fighting the cancel culture after a transgression that is never fully explained and the fundraiser is part of his road back. After their paths cross, King invites them to his island for a weekend of excess.

Once on the island, things seem too good to be true but as the days add up so does the sense of dread. Kravitz and company are masterful at building tension and even the most mundane action is handled in such a way as to add to the feeling of unease. This sensation builds and builds. The resolution only happens at the film’s end. The clues were there but the truth always seemed out of reach.

The aura of the monstrous actions of the late Jeffrey Epstein is never far from the surface and this only adds to the horror on screen. Equal parts fascinating and disturbing, Blink Twice is one of those oh-so-rare works that actually surprises you at the film’s end. It will leave you unsure if you loved the movie or were repulsed by it. Hours later after viewing it, I’m still unsure.
