Good movie, great atmosphere, good dialogue, good storyline...and a great way to spend Sunday afternoon.

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.

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.

At no time was I comfortable watching this movie and experienced only fleeting moments of entertainment while watching it. I stuck with it for just over an hour hoping that it would gain momentum, but upon the sudden realization that I wasn't actually enjoying it, I gave up. The acting is pretty good though the film gives the sensation of being fast paced, I noticed after a while it was the dialogue which gave this false impression; so much so that I was thrown from the tracks of conversation in several places due to the rapid fire exchanges that were taking place. The story is a bit of a 'Mashup' of ideas and situations that haven't been blended together well enough, and the incongruity it produces does not lend well to the screenplay. It is good in places but lacks the harmony to bring it together as an enjoyable piece. I was a little at odds after throwing in the towel, since I did want to like it and feel if it had been done slightly differently, it would have been a good movie. I feel a little guilty for giving it 3/10 but not being able to make it to the end means it can't get 5, and the other issues with it made it essentially unpalatable. I don't think I'm being overly critical and in fairness, not everyone will find this as awkward to view as I did, so I can see it getting as much as 6 from individuals tolerant of a little chaos. I would suggest the higher ratings (and I've seen a few here) are less than genuine. Sorry just can't recommend it. Hope this helps.

Not the best, pacing/tension building could have been better, but plenty of strengths; great actors, strong story: it's a bit different, just the "singularity" angle kinda failed to shine through for me though. I thought it very fairly portrayed where/how the US justice system can and does go wrong, it also highlights the fix -- definitely the films most redeeming quality. Stays interesting throughout, good watch if you don't have much else going on on a Sat night.

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 ...

I cannot believe the reviews on this one. It's easily one of the best films I've seen in 2021. I thought this was one of Boyega's best performances and the dude who played Craig was excellent. Hopefully more ppl get to see it and like it.

IN A NUTSHELL: Thanks to Screen Media for sending me a press screener so I could preview the movie. It won the Audience Award at the 2021 San Francisco Film Festival on opening night. Based on the PEN prize-winning novel A Naked Singularity by Sergio De La Pava, a former Manhattan District Attorney with first-hand knowledge of the everyday travesties of justice in city courtrooms, this genre-bending film is both an ambitious, razor-sharp indictment of legal dysfunction and an entertaining, high-stakes heist. Naked Singularity tells the story of Casi (John Boyega), a promising young NYC public defender whose idealism is beginning to crack under the daily injustices of the very justice system he's trying to make right. Doubting all he has worked for and seeing signs of the universe collapsing all around him, he is pulled into a dangerous high-stakes drug heist by an unpredictable former client (Olivia Cooke) to beat the broken system at its own game. THINGS I LIKED: The movie features John Boyega, Olivia Cooke, Bill Skarsgard, Ed Skrein, Linda Lavin, and Tim Blake Nelson. They all give outstanding performances. Great cast. I've always enjoyed the "day-in-the-life" type of movies. This one features an attorney who actually wants to help people and make a positive difference. I'm always fascinated to learn which executive producers have backed the film because they believe so much in it. In this case, it's award-winning Ridley Scott and Dick Wolf. To provide greater insight on the movie's title, look at these definitions of "singularity": the state, fact, quality, or condition of being singular BUT ALSO "a point at which a function takes an infinite value, especially in space-time when matter is infinitely dense." There are some humorous moments and characters. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: The movie talks about the public defendant department as a machine. The movie says that the justice system is criminal. Do you believe that? Some scenes are so dark that they'll be hard to see on small devices. You don't even get into the details of the actual heist until almost an hour into the movie. It's slow-moving as we wait for something interesting to happen. Some viewers will find the plot and characters confusing. The movie trailer makes it look like it's going to be a lot more fun and entertaining than it is. The idea of John Boyega with a sword seems appealing, yet is disappointing. The movie thinks it's way cooler than it is. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Kids will be completely bored. Plus, it's not really a movie for kids anyway. Pre-marital relations Profanity and F-bombs A woman really needs to wear a bra. Some violence with blood Criminal behavior You can see my full review on my Movie Review Mom YouTube channel.

What is this stuff? Is quality control dead? I really mean it. Does anyone consider quality before hiring people and financing films? I wasted my time. It would be better for the film industry if there was a quality control in films, which would draw more people and give us confidence. Also, what specifically is going on at acting schools? The Casey guy was so horrid and the rest of them were not much better. The girl was OK. Low budget and bad acting. WOW.
