The Little Things

Movie Review 🍿 🎥

Trailer: https://youtu.be/1HZAnkxdYuA

Denzel Washington could appear in an identical remake of 1987 Ishtar and I’d make myself sit through it.

The Little Things isn’t as bad as Ishtar. And expert thespian Denzel acts the crap out of an otherwise confusing and tortoise paced script. 

An Official WTF rating is issued for this movie. A WTF rating means: I had no flipping idea what had happened after the credits rolled. If you can make heads or tails out of the ending, you’ll have me beat. I had to look up spoilers what actually happened in the movie.

Malek is interesting. His interpretation is precarious. I couldn’t tell if he was supposed to be a villain or not. Jared Leto gave an effective however broad stroked, modern day Commedia Dell’Arte performance.

I appreciated the non cell phone 1990s world and use of music.

But, I was supremely bored, ennui abounded, as much as Denzel tried to avoid the iceberg demise of this film.

I wish I had armrests to raise, as the pandemic rails on, but if I did, The Little Things would get no armrests.
