How to Stream The Little Things

The neo-noir psychological thriller is so dark that Stephen Spielberg turned down the opportunity to direct it back in 1993.

At its heart, The Little Things is a crime drama whose mysteries begin to unravel the deeper our protagonist (Washington) loses himself in the case. Joe “Deke” Deacon has left the detective life after a similar serial killer case tore into his personal life. Still a veteran of the trade, when Deke finds up-and-coming detective Jim Baxter (Malek) treading familiar ground, he can’t help but get trapped in the routine. Goaded by the edgy Albert Sparma (Leto), the mystery involves into a cat-and-mouse game with a twist reveal.

The highlight of the film is Washington’s portrayal of Deke - a detective who’s fallen into the mire of life-consuming career before, and still lets it happen a second time, all while cautioning Baxter not to follow in his footsteps. It’s the nuances in Washington’s performance that give depth to what might otherwise be an overplayed archetype. The ‘gloomy veteran detective’ strikes on a much more personal level when we see the damage it’s done to his psyche through his eyes.
