Smart, slightly absurd, and centred around a strong yet against type performance by Boyega, They Cloned Tyrone is more than just a throwback to Blaxploitation films and is truly satisfying watch. The film starts out a bit inconsistent but as it moves on it finds its focus and tells an interesting story.
Parris is another standout, holding her own with her more famous costars and kinda stealing the show. She and Boyega both manage to balance the humour and the pathos quite expertly all while managing the film's cult-classic-like style.
The film goes a bit wonky in places but that's part of the fun and the style. The ending might be come up on a us a bit quick but its not enough to damped the fun of the film. Overall, Tyrone is funny and thought provoking and the final moments make you wonder if there is more coming...
