9/10
Brilliant - Old School Detective Movie
14 February 2021
If like me your a fan of the 90s mystery, detective thriller that requires no CGI or special effects or other modern day movie magic effects then The Little Things is for you.

Its a shame that Hollywood appears to have has lost its faith in scripts like this one. The Little Things offers up a taste of the old school with its simple but effective plot that doesn't pretend to be anything that its not. The acting and dialogue is intelligent, subtle and effective. Denzel Washington, Rami Malek and Jared Leto all bring to the table a absorbing, masterful and truthful performances that really help bring a sense of long forgotten class to the movie.

The sub-plot that explores the past events of Washington's character for me felt a little off but was well explained as it subtly drifts in and out of the movie as more and more is added leading to it tying nicely together with the main plot. I personally loved the 90's Jagged Edge style twist at the end that although isn't earth shattering its fun and commendable.

The Little Things is a gripping and subtly tense movie that serves us commendable performances and a very well done simple but intelligent good guy vs bad guy plot.

Solid Entertainment and here's me thinking they don't make them like that anymore but after watching The Little Things.....I'm glad to see they do!
