Naked Singularity

I haven't had any preconceptions about this movie from it's trailer.

But in the end it's a solid movie. Interesting premise, a little silly in execution but all in all - a fun easygoing movie with fun characters.

Yeah, there's some cheap philosophy but it's not anything of importance. Boyega is good in this, Bill Skarsgard as well, everyone was.

Really don't get the low score from some people. Is it some drama, review bombing? Who the f knows and cares, it's a solid, fun small movie, watch it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
