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

They Cloned Tyrone

They Cloned Tyrone    [trailer]

A series of eerie events thrusts an unlikely trio onto the trail of a nefarious government conspiracy.

Very entertaining watch that mixes Blaxploitation elements with a surreal story and some added social commentary. It benefits from the very good chemistry between the three leads whose characters complement each other.

It feels a bit long and slows down towards the end. But it's definitely one of the better Netflix films.
