Naked Singularity

Casi (John Boyega) is a public defender struggling within the justice machinery and battling cold-hearted Judge Cymbeline (Linda Lavin). His best friend Dane (Bill Skarsgård) is a prosecutor. Tow impound clerk Lea (Olivia Cooke) is offered a bribe from Craig (Ed Skrein). It leads to a minivan secretly filled with $millions of drugs.

This is a crime thriller. Going to the cops is a mistake (for the story). It doesn't make sense that the drug is still in the van. The cops would bring some drug sniffing dogs. Leave the cops out of this. There is a lot of little problems like that. When the bidding goes that high, somebody would have figured something's up. Otherwise, this has some fun quirkiness but it does need more. I do like these actors. It's trying to be a crime thriller but the writing needs to be better.

Usually, movies get a very high rating from the first hundreds, because a lot of people involved want to support it in an unfair exaggerated way.

How many times I've been fooled...

Now why would people want to sink a movie in an exaggerated way?

3 Stars average, you must be kidding.

This is not a kind of Zombie Strip film...

I didn't expect much and I was entertained by almost every scene.

No scene is boring, they all have that little spice.

The dialogues are well developed and aimed to a purpose, not that fast cool urban slang talking that make no sense, used so often lately to hide the lack of reasoning of the writers.

The characters are well drawn, all of them, even the 2nd and 3rd roles.

Acting is top, from everybody, and Olivia Cooke is handsome and sexy like never before. She's one of my favourite actresses, now, because by this movie, I finally will remember her name, now.

About the story, its not what I really like to watch, drugs and money, and I found myself taken along by an extremely well-paced movie, where I did never check my watch.

That is pretty rare in these days of mindless Netflix monopoly.

Thank you for that.

Last but not least : the movie made me buy the book.

Yes, it's all true, about the machine ...

When you are promised a world-ending of civilization as we know it and a collapse of all systems, be prepared to be very disappointed.

Writers tried to mix a heist/outsmart criminals with nerdy scifi and failed greatly.

If it was only a heist/outsmart criminals, it might be better as you'd have more time for character development, but this movie was ridiculous.

Just watched "Naked Singularity" with a friend. We enjoyed it, but it was definitely not what the poster promised. I was expecting some sort of indie sci-fi thriller, not a New York heist flick. Not sure this is even going to make its budget back. That said, Boyega is pretty good and Skarsgård is an absolute delight.

The film is very dull and boring. Poor story telling, poor acting, and poor character development. Avoid.
