Forgotten Netflix Mystery Movies That Are Perfect From Start to Finish

A Netflix binge can feel forgetful, and this piece argues that mystery films are often displaced quickly in streaming culture despite strong reviews. It highlights “They Cloned Tyrone” (2023), debuting in a plot about a drug dealer murdered and waking up alive the next morning, then spiraling into a retro neon conspiracy thriller. The film features John Boyega as Fontaine, Jamie Foxx as Slick Charles, and Teyonah Parris as Yo-Yo, and the article says it earned 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. It also references “The Pale Blue Eye” (2022), a gothic thriller directed by Scott Cooper where Christian Bale plays Augustus Landor, a retired detective hired to investigate a cadet’s death at West Point in 1830, with Harry Melling as Edgar Allan Poe. The article describes both titles as mystery narratives with tightly resolved payoffs, even if viewers may overlook them shortly after release.
