Not the most original of films, but it's well-executed. There is no lack of murder mysteries and police procedurals, and The Little Things walks a familiar path, at least for the first three-quarters of the film. The finale is where things get a bit more interesting, though it's not quite enough to turn this into a memorable film.
The performances are strong and the deliberate pacing gives the film some extra weight. Malek-Washington is a good combo, while Leto is a perfect weirdo. I guess the film could've been a little shorter and/or the direction could've been a bit sharper, but I had a pretty decent time with this one.
