8/10

A science fiction thriller with blaxploitation humor

Netflix and producer Jamie Foxx present this modern blaxploitation film that mixes conspiracy science fiction with the humor and personality of films starring African Americans. Everything revolves around Fontaine and his companions Slick and Yo-yo who discover that nothing in the neighborhood is what it seems. The film is enjoyable to watch for all the humorous moments that the characters offer. It's well-paced and plays well with this whole thing about what meaning Fontaine is trying to give to his life after discovering who he really is. Likewise, the film leaves a couple of loose ends that would be convenient to tie up and clarify in a sequel. They Cloned Tyrone is a good movie to pass the time and an interesting option for blaxploitation lovers. My final rating for this movie is an 8/10.
