Agree, if it had been shorter the pacing on the second half would have felt better. It’s fine if you go slow when establishing the premise, but it hardly feels like there was any payoff due to the slowness.

Spoilers: at one point when they were talking in the car on another persons property, the scene went for so long I just wanted the character (which was on the background looking awkward the entire time) to make good on his earlier promise and put the scene out of misery.
