Review

The Little Things slow down significantly when it should be pressing forward. Tense moments of The Little Things movie are too often deflated. The Little Things director John Lee Hancock has perfectly portrayed the movie’s characters. Denzel has commanded his lead in The Little Things. He looks awesome as always. Rami Malek also keeps you tied with him. Feeling scared at Jared Leto, while watching in him throughout the whole movie. John Lee Hancock has written the screenplay, directing The Little Things.
