The Little Things: what to know?
If, like us, you've been wondering how to watch The Little Things, you'll be pleased to hear that you can enjoy it even if movie theaters are closed where you are.
Written and directed by John Lee Hannock (creator of The Blind Side (opens in new tab) and The Rookie), The Little Things is the first Warner Bros. title of 2021 and has a star-studded cast led by none other than Denzel Washington. The two-time Oscar-winner (Glory and Training Day (opens in new tab)) is Joe "Deke" Deacon, a California deputy who, after a series of grisly murders, gets involved in the investigation alongside L.A. hotshot detective Jim Baxter, fellow Oscar winner Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody). The pair are convinced they've got their serial killer man, when they track down creepy but charismatic Albert Sparma, played by Jared Leto who makes up the trio of Oscar winners (Dallas Buyers Club).
The more obsessed Deke gets with his prime suspect, the darker things get. Issues from his past begin to resurface, including secrets about his own upbringing that make things way bigger than the case at hand.
Speaking to LA Times about his casting and characterisation choices, Hannock said: “It doesn’t come out as the most logical, like, ‘Oh yeah, they fit together like hand in glove. That’s why I liked it. I kept thinking, ‘These two guys sitting in a car together, watching an apartment — this better be interesting on its face or it could die a horrible death.’”
Describing the two detectives, he continued: "Little by little, they start to share this obsession. In some ways, it’s almost an infection that is passed from Joe Deacon to Jim Baxter, and Jim becomes complicit in things that a week ago he wouldn’t have.
A dark, twisty, morally-ambiguous crime thriller that keeps you guessing till the very end, starring not one, not two, but three Oscar-nominated actors - where do we sign up?
