‘They Cloned Tyrone’
They Cloned Tyrone is the first movie that writer/director Juel Taylor has helmed, and you can be assured that it won’t be his last. TCT, which stars John Boyega, Teyonah Parris (WandaVision), and Jamie Foxx, is by no means a perfect movie — the wheels very much come off by the time the third act rolls around — but Taylor’s feature debut shows some incredible promise. It’s rare to see a first-time director exhibiting such precise control of mood and atmosphere, especially in a movie like this where some truly off-the-wall shit happens (Taylor is a credited co-writer here). This mashup of Soylent Green, The World’s End, and Sorry To Bother You is one of the most original Netflix Originals we’ve seen in quite some time.
