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 ...

This is not a 3.9 movie (the rating it has when I am writing), the reviewers have been too harsh.

Has some cool social commentary, good acting and John Boyega seemed like a young Danzel Washington, maybe a project in the making.

Watch it and don't trust the rating.

Script and storyline not that great.

The movie is pretty average.

Once again reviews are skewered calling decent films rotten and rotten films good. For what it was, Naked Singularity is a solid one time watch. A little bit of drama, suspense and a drop of sci-fi, gave the story enough umph to sit and watch to the end. The negatives reviews are truly misleading. The cast did a fine job in their characters and it's always good and positive to see a male black actor playing a lead role as a straight man and nothing weirdoish. Really tired of seeing the weirdos. It's Tuesday evening and because I stopped doing theater years ago paying for tickets and canceled all my TV subscriptions, with downloading from torrents if a film just so happens to be trash (but not this one) only my time is wasted....enjoy. A solid one time watch.
