Chris and Sumit from Breaking Atoms podcast join Flixwatcher to review Chris’ choice They Cloned Tyrone.

They Cloned Tyrone (2023) is a science fiction action comedy mystery film directed by Juel (Creed II writer) Taylor in his directorial debut. It stars John Boyega as Fontaine/Tyrone, a local drug dealer, Jamie Foxx as Slick Charles a pimp and Teyonah Parris as Yo-Yo, one of Slick’s girls.

One evening Fontaine is doing business with Slick where he is shot and fatally killed by a rival dealer Isaac. The following day Slick is surprised to see Fontaine apparently alive and well, with no recognition of the previous day or shooting. Fontaine and Slick find Yo-Yo who confirms the shooting and the trio follow a vehicle to a house that reveals a secret lab where a very strange experiment is taking place.

They Cloned Tyrone brings a variety of genres together including sci-fi and blaxploitation and at times a Scooby Doo mystery. In trying to bring in so many genres it sometimes feels a little unfocused and many of its ideas are not fully fleshed out. However the three main leads are so enjoyable to watch playing off each other that it’s hard not to enjoy the adventure.

Recommendability scores for They Cloned Tyrone were pretty solid, but with a runtime of two hours it loses points for repeat viewing and engagement to score a respectable 3.47 overall.
