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) in an effort to beat the broken system at its own game.

Critics Consensus

Naked Singularity has wild ambition and a talented lead on its side, but neither ingredient is enough to offset the film's clumsy jumble of tones and ideas.

2/5

The wait continues for a new movie worthy of the talents of John Boyega.

2/5

Not even an impending apocalypse adds much in the way of urgency. Still, Boyega is very credible and at 29 he's beginning to look like a leading man with real gravitational pull. Likely he'll file this on his CV under misfire.

2/5

Chase Palmer, the film's director and co-writer (with David Matthews), hacks away at this thick forest of high concepts and plot detail, but it all just keeps growing back, making for a tangled mess that's as irritating as a stroll through a nettle patch.

It doesn’t work for the entirety of its run-time, but somehow, it makes you want to stick with it to see what it does next. Unfortunately, the ending is as bad as its setup.

3.5/5

All the quirks of the courts are on full display here. Combine that with Boyega’s performance and the result is a hit.

5/10

Things feel too rushed throughout the film, and events get wrapped up too easily by the end.
