Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon (Washington) is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence-gathering assignment. Instead, he becomes embroiled in the search for a killer who is terrorizing the city. Leading the hunt, L.A. Sheriff Department Sergeant Jim Baxter (Malek), impressed with Deke’s cop instincts, unofficially engages his help. But as they track the killer, Baxter is unaware that the investigation is dredging up echoes of Deke’s past, uncovering disturbing secrets that could threaten more than his case.

First of all, the previews look AMAZING! However don’t go in expecting like an intense movie where they’re hunting for a sicko. The plot is very different and it’s a slow burn film that isn’t satisfying. I hated the ending like really!? But I don’t know to me it was disappointing and it’s not what you think

It’s fun to see Washington square off against a brace of performers who could not resemble him less in bearing and tone.

Although helmed by Washington’s visceral performance nostalgia-addled slow-burn, The Little Things eventually falters due to its own clichéd tropes.

Maybe the movie would work better if, like Se7en, it were set in an unnamed noir city instead of a real police department with real abuses, or if the script relied on more than genre shorthand to sell its noxious ending. As things stand, however, the only way to enjoy The Little Things is to ignore the big things.
