They Cloned Tyrone
Fontaine, played by John Boyega, lives a simple life as a drug dealer in his neighborhood. However, when he decides to take revenge on his rival Isaac, he gets shot and dies.
The strange thing is that he wakes up in his bed the next day. Together with the pimp Slick Charles, played by Jamie Foxx, and the prostitute Yo-Yo, played by Teyonah Parris, they uncover a bizarre conspiracy.
When you start the film, it initially feels like a darkly humorous comedy, but slowly develops into a quirky science fiction plot that may not appeal to everyone, but is refreshingly unique for the genre. In particular, the three main actors are captivating, bringing noticeable joy to the screen.
