The problem being, writer/director Sam Levinson over wrote the dialogue. So many times there would be great points made or arrows slung by either Malcolm (John David Washington) or Marie (Zendaya) and you'd just want them to land and end scene, but it never happened. Instead each time one or the other's soliloquy would go on too long and too much more would be said, which would muddy the brilliance and not give the viewer enough time to process...
