‘The Little Things’
The Little Things is the latest big budget movie to premiere on HBO Max and in movie theaters simultaneously, thanks to Warner Bros. decision to move their entire theatrical slate onto their new streaming service. This refreshingly old school serial killer thriller stars not one, not two, but THREE Oscar winners: Denzel Washington, Jared Leto, and Rami Malek. Malek plays an LA homicide detective at the dawn of the 1990s, Denzel plays an out-of-town cop haunted by a case he was never able to solve, and Leto plays the prime suspect in a string of grisly murders. There’s nothing too flashy here, just an extremely well-executed studio movie anchored by the steady presence of Denzel and the Golden Globe-nominated performance by Leto. (The less said about Malek, the better.)
