They Cloned Tyrone promises to be a hilarious escapade for viewers
Netflix released the teaser for the film on April 24, 2023, and it has managed to garner only positive reviews from both critics and viewers alike. The teaser begins with Jamie Foxx and Teyonah Parris breaking the awkward silence of a long elevator trip by singing Mary J.Blige's "I'm Goin Down" while John Boyega stands in front with no expression on his face and the scene is as hilarious as anyone can expect, with fans calling that scene a reason in itself to watch the movie.
The teaser continues and shows the lead trio discovering a place that seems to be an underground lab of sorts. We are also acquainted with the root cause of the eerie events in the neighborhood which are the experiments that someone is performing on the black community and the teaser gives glimpses of the trio encountering numerous characters while investigating the truth behind the experiments.
Here's the official synopsis of They Cloned Tyrone as per Netflix:
"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 neighborhood drug dealer, is shot dead by rival Isaac and then is very shocked to wake up in his bed the next morning unharmed."
It continues:
"He and Slick Charles and Yo-Yo begin looking into the incident, and their search eventually leads them to a vast underground complex where a government-backed lab is performing experiments on the local Black population. Realizing that he is an artificial clone controlled by Nixon, Fontaine initially feels despair but decides he needs to stand up to these white institutional overlords for the sake of his neighborhood."
Based on the teaser and synopsis, the unpredictability of the plot and the inclusion of several interesting characters is sure to be the highlight of the film and viewers can look forward to a hilarious and thoroughly entertaining film.
