‘Naked Singularity’ Trailer: John Boyega is a Public Defender With a Katana

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Screen Media Films has released an official trailer for Naked Singularity, starring John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel).

I really don’t know what to make of this. I’m all for a heist film led by Boyega and Cooke, but I’m always iffy on realistic stories that are made confusing with unnecessary science-fiction elements (like levitation). Fingers crossed this film can find a nice blend between the two genres and deliver a hidden gem of a movie.

Plot Synopsis:

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.

Naked Singularity hits theaters August 6, 2021 and On Demand August 13, 2021.
