What’s The Little Things about?
The Little Things is a classic neo-noir crime thriller that follows two detectives (played by Rami Malek and Denzel Washington) as they try to track down a serial killer working his way through Los Angeles.
Washington plays Joe “Deke” Deacon, the Deputy Sheriff of the Kern County Sheriff’s Office. When he’s sent to Los Angeles to collect evidence for a recent murder case, he becomes entangled in a new murder.
He partners up with Detective Jimmy Baxter (Malek) and soon finds connections between the M.O. of this investigation and an old cold case. All the while, a serial killer (played by Jared Leto) is rampaging around LA.
Overall, the movie was not overly successful. In fact, it was a box office bomb, grossing only $31 million against a production budget of $30 million. Critically, it received mixed reviews and is currently sitting at a 45% Tomatometer Score and a 67% Audience Score onRotten Tomatoes.
