Man, They Cloned Tyrone is going out to be completely ignored by Barbenheimer mania, isn’t it? (Or if you have Prime Video, Shin Barbenheimer). It’s a shame because John Boyega, the man can act when he’s not subservient to the will of Disney, and his chemistry with Jaime Foxx and Teyonah Parris makes the plot work in a way lesser actors might not have been able to pull off.

It’s also a reminder that writers and actors can do unique, fun things and give unique takes on genres like blaxploitation if they’re given the means to do so and aren’t chained to a shared comic book universe or yet another remake.
Jamie Foxx, as U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Sykes, leads Jake Gyllanhaal and the rest of his scout sniper platoon over a burm in Kuwait to discover the "Highway of death" during Operation Desert Storm.
