The film is 1hr 45 mins.
I really like the first 45 minutes. It was funny, well written and well acted and for the most part I was hooked. The black and white looked slick - the cinematography and direction were all really good.
However after this there's a 15 minute period where it kinda dips in energy and I started to notice myself checking the time a couple of times.
The biggest problem however, comes in the final 45 minutes... because they literally just... repeat the first hour. It follows the same format, arguing back and forth and gets stale way too quickly than it should. It falls into the trap that other contained films do, one where they just kind of run out steam and energy and just ideas of where and how to progress the story forwards. So the end up repeating the same stuff and it becomes, unfortunately, extremely boring.
Zendaya and John David Washington are both good but don't make this film worth watching. At least 30 minutes could have been cut and it would've been a lot better, but it wouldn't have solved all the issues.
Quite disappointing. Could've been a lot better.
score 6/10
