"The Little Things" (2021) #denzelwashington #jaredleto #ramimalek
Written and directed by John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side, Saving Mr Banks and The Founder), I’ve watched this intriguing film twice now and although a year apart, I’ve been left with the same feeling every time. Simplistically, it feels very much like a film of two halves with a first half full of promise, suspense and intrigue and a second that benefits greatly from yet another unrecognisably different performance from Jared Leto but which still loses momentum and fades from interest even with his worthy introduction. The film seems to stall and not go anywhere after his introduction and whilst this is in no way a criticism or slight of the chameleon like acting skills of Jared Leto, it’s perhaps more a damning verdict of a film that had run its course well before its 128 minute running time.
With a serial killer seemingly on the loose on the streets of Los Angeles, a somewhat grizzled veteran returns to the scene of both past triumphs and a soul destroying tragedy. On the periphery and away from the on going case, he quickly becomes embroiled as the past refuses to leave him and the future is writ large on the young and cocky new detective who seems destined to follow in his footsteps from the past.
