Malek and Washington are electric together in this atmospheric, moody thriller that will keep you guessing and on the edge of the proverbial seat (or living room sofa). You won’t be able to shake this one off for a very long time.

The Little Things has a couple of hair-raising scenes and a few nifty, low-key twists in store, though little about the overall experience of watching it can really be called surprising. I don’t mean that as a knock. The pleasures and comforts of crime fiction, even with the built-in expectations of suspense and revelation, are not always dependent on novelty.

Neo-noir cerebral slow burn at it’s finest! Don’t let the negative reviews fool ya. This film is for cinephiles not blockbuster fans.

Washington Post
It boasts a sterling main cast — Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, Jared Leto — as well as open-endedness that is simultaneously pleasurable and a bit unsettling, in both the good and bad senses of that word.

Thanks to Hancock’s craft and the discipline of the actors, it’s more than watchable, but you are unlikely to be haunted, disturbed or even surprised. You haven’t exactly seen this before. It just feels that way.

The movie's exploration of obsession and a sliding scale of what’s right vs. what’s wrong is among the aspects that Little Things does well. And there’s always some positive with Washington in a thriller like this.

Some of The Little Things’ little things, like the nuances of Washington’s performance, are outstanding. This film is a reminder that the big things are important, too.

Consequence
It’s a miserable experience — a dull, dated copy of something we’ve seen before — and takes way too long to ever get moving. (It never really does.) In the end, an unimaginative script and underutilized actors make The Little Things as trivial as the title implies.

The superb cast and cinematography provide a boost to an otherwise very average crime drama. In such an oversaturated genre there is little original material here although I greatly appreciated the ambiguity of who the killer truly is. While the screenplay teases us with scenes discussing physical evidence, intriguing character backstories and a few tense cat and mouse sequences, none of it never really bares much fruit. Maybe a berry or two though!! Worth a watch for genre fans or fans of the cast.

Eu gostei do filme, os personagens são bons e o enredo é interessante mas ao mesmo tempo confuso. Adorei o antagonista mas não entendi certos fluxos do filme o que torna o filme não tão bom.
