They Cloned Tyrone (2023) Review

Taking a break from the Barbenheimer talk to discuss Netflix’s most recent cinematic outing.

Plot: A pulpy, sci-fi mystery caper in which an unlikely trio investigates a series of eerie events, alerting them to a nefarious conspiracy lurking directly beneath their hood. Fontaine, a neighbourhood drug dealer, is shot dead by rival Isaac and then is very shocked to wake up in his bed the next morning unharmed.

Was sold by the film’s trailer using Rockwell’s ‘Somebody’s Watching Me’ and now having seen the actual movie have discovered it’s an unofficial remake of the 2013 Edgar Wright film The World’s End. I doubt the director and cast will admit it’s a remake however there are simply too many similarities to not make comparisons. I should note that The World’s End is one of my favourite films ever. So yep, They Cloned Tyrone is my kind of entertainment! And it’s a very entertaining movie. Fitting nicely into the Blaxploitation subgenre, with having a vintage grainy filter aesthetic; characters wearing funky clothing and crazy hairdos; and an energetic soundtrack, all adding to the 1970s feel of the movie. The story itself tackles the serious subject of White supremacy and institutional overlords trying to control the Black community however without trivialising or preaching the themes as if we are in a lecture. The social commentary is there, but overall this is a funky science fiction comedy featuring a trio of heroes I never knew I needed.

I need these 3 characters solving mysteries/conspiracies from the hood on a regular basis. Have the same actors (Boyega, Parris and Foxx) playing the pimp, dope boy, and ho uncovering everything from aliens, secret experiments, and every conspiracy of this generation. These three have amazing chemistry and riff jokes off each other so well. Their constant bickering was hilarious. The balance of these personalities clashing and complimenting each other... it’s genuinely great! If nothing else that’s the takeaway from They Cloned Tyrone - these three together are a match made in heaven. 

It’s fun science fiction shenanigans all around, however this movie does suffer from a shed load of plot holes. Especially at the end where our heroes infiltrate the underground base, a lot of things only worked out because they needed to, and real life they would have all been caught/stopped without any issue. But it’s a harmless comedy so I am happy to forgive these. It very much takes inspiration from various movie auteurs such as Jordan Peele, Stephen King, and Edgar Wright as well as having a Stranger Things vibe throughout. If you like the actors and enjoy old-school sci-fi, then you should go and check out why they cloned Tyrone. 

Overall score: 6/10

"What I need to say is, you are. The walls around your life, the silence around your death, and the language all work to erase you and remove you from me, but they are no stronger than my grief, because my grief is fueled by love and I claim you. And I’ve come back for all the names I’ve never known since you were stolen. '

Fall(ing) for Films

While rewatching some of my fave series, I haven't forgotten that autumn often has some great film releases (some in time for awards season) and in addition to some recently released films (We Live In Time with Andrew Garfield & Florence Pugh; Here with Tom Hanks and Robin Wright; Conclave with Ralph Fiennes, etc) , a bunch more are in the queue.

Under the cut are listed several upcoming films viewers may want to see...

Bird with Academy Award nominee Barry Keoghan among the cast.

Small Things Like These includes Cillian Murphy, Emily Watson, and Eileen Walsh.

Albany Road with Renee Elise Goldsberry, Lynn Whitfield, and J. Alphonse Nicholson.

Red One features Dwayne Johnson, Lucy Liu, Chris Evans, and the ever hard working supporting actor, J.K. Simmons.

Gladiator II has been getting a lot of press for its cast featuring Pedro Pascal, Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, and yet another much lauded stage and screen thespian, Sir Derek Jacobi.

Wicked. Pictured above, Cynthia Erivo headlines this much anticipated pic along with Ariana Grande and Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh.

Another film set for limited release in November is the Jesse Eisenberg directed A Real Pain. Eisenberg also stars in the film, along with Kieran Culkin, Will Sharpe, and Jennifer Grey. It's been getting some positive buzz, so here's hoping it will eventually open up in more places.

December has several upcoming films as well.

Oh Canada featuring Richard Gere and Uma Thurman.

The Order cast includes Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult.

The Return pairs Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche as Odysseus and Penelope.

In addition, there are some heavy hitters internationally but I'll save that for another time as awards season nears.
