You will walk away from this hoping that Leonardo DiCaprio (Bob Ferguson, a member of a revolutionary group known as the French 75), Sean Penn (Col. Steven J. Lockjaw, the head of a military detention center who’s out to capture Bob most of the film) and Chase Infiniti (Bob’s daughter, Willa unaware that her parents were once vigilantes) appear in the next Paul Thomas Anderson film, that’s for sure.

I write this review to say this: Top Gun: Maverick, step aside! You’re a thing of the past once Kosinski moviegoers get a look at this.
It has been too long since Oscar-winning “Parasite,” writer/director Bong Joon Ho hurled a visual treat in our direction. The remarkable filmmaker needed to create a good story we could lose ourselves in, and here it is. “Mickey 17” is about life/death, winning/losing, good/bad, major/minor, and love.

Thirty-six years and… Showtime!! The opening credit sequence for this is familiar, like an old friend welcoming you back… it even focuses on the bridge!! The model is used again, and the town looks pretty much the same.
If you saw the movie “Twister,” directed by Jan de Bont, starring Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Cary Elwes and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, go into “Twisters” knowing one thing. There are only a few respectable differences between the two. Director Lee Isaac Chung, from “Manari,” is good at storytelling. This film has no carry-over actors from the first film, and the story veers from people wanting to study tornadoes to people wishing to tame them… make them vanish before they destroy everything in their path. Chung does an excellent job of showing that distinction.
