They Cloned Tyrone — 4/5

What a lovely timelessness they've created. It's got a stuck-in-time-ness of those small towns that had a heyday and then industry left and what got left behind simply stopped moving. John Boyega plays it serious, straight out of the '90s, accompanied by Jamie Foxx's 70's-era pimp and Teyonah Parris' ho talking about blockchain. It's a composite town, a composite time, and it works marvelously; it all works as a purposeful aesthetic to the plot. It's a place built on the idea of what those places are, all these times still living together in a prism; a cage. It's an idea of a place you've likely never been. It's all green and grimy and filled with people who don't realize they're already dead. From that setting springs a super-fun plotline and a wonderful meshing of tones that doesn't quite come together at the end. It builds mystery and intrigue and a momentum that unfortunately gets dead-stopped by exposition. And not very clear exposition? I got confused. I'm not sure whether I needed this world to wrap itself into a neat little bow, or to just embrace the fun of it all and go with it, but it doesn't quite do either. But whatever—everything else is in this place is worth visiting again.
