Aside from the horrific editing throughout the majority of this feature, The Little Things is a gripping crime thriller with a sharp human twist. I'm rather shocked by the level of disdain on here for the ending, as I thought it was much better than simply naming the killer. [spoiler] Having Deke save Jim from the guilt that befell him when he killed an innocent man was a nice twist that I didn't see coming. Sure it doesn't answer the main mystery of the crime, but I'd argue that was never the main storyline of the movie in the first place. It was all about Deke finding peace with his past, while helping his replacement not fall into the same hole that he did. [/spoiler] Takes a while to get going, but once it does it's a gripping, enjoyable ride to the credits. (Just try and ignore the 293048023948238 edits during scenes as simple as breakfast at Jim's house)

BOOOOOOORINGGGGGGG. 40 minute story, agonizingly stretched out to 2 hours. Honestly felt even longer.

The biggest crime that has ever been committed wasn’t even in the movie itself, but having a cast like Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, and Jared Leto, with a promising concept of a murder mystery and it turned out to be…whatever. I mean the performances were decent at least, even if Rami Malek felt a bit out of place here.

I'm not sure why there's so much hate for this film, but I loved it. If you enjoyed the grimdark mysteries that were huge in the late 90s (think Seven), you'll feel at home with The Little Things. The underlying mystery is engaging, but leads us to an interesting conclusion that is surprising, unexpected, and...believable. It also is very morally "squishy", leaving a lot of space to contemplate the various actions of our leads, who were all great. Leto may have been trying a little too hard, but he gave an engaging performance. Malek and Washington were great, as expected. I genuinely enjoyed the heck out of this film.

probably wouldn't watch this again but the acting was great and it has the grungey 90s thriller vibe that it was going for in spades, with the addition of sharply hd imagery. this is less a movie about the hunt for a killer and more a movie about the way law enforcement can become consumed by th More

It is a movie full of Oscar stars. The story of the movie is the presence of a serial killer and the investigators' attempt to find this killer. If you are interested in investigation films in the 1990s, especially Seven, you will find that the events of the movie are similar to these steps that wer More

_The Little Things_ is a suspenseful crime thriller with great performances by Denzel Washington and Jared Leto. The film keeps viewers engaged with its tense atmosphere and well-executed twists and turns. However, the plot can be somewhat unrealistic at times, with certain aspects feeling contrived More

“The Little Things” is such a by-the-book police procedural drama that the film doesn’t stand out much. It could be just another season of “True Detective,” or could run together in your memory with dozens of similar crime movies from the last 30 years. The story is familiar, but the ridic More
