the little things

POSITIVES…

  • Looking for a psychological crime mystery cop drama? Here's one! 

  • Denzel Washington, with his swagger, charm, and serious acting. You know what you want from him, and he delivers as usual. 

  • Rami Malek is solid as expected, and brings a good performance to his role. 

  • The contrast and collaboration between Denzel and Rami is a huge highlight of this film. 

  • Jared Leto successfully elevates the interest of the mystery with his addition to this movie. Best scenes happen to involve him. 

  • Actually there are several good sequences that involve vehicles in this. 

  • The conclusion will give you something to think. 

  • Seeing that No Doubt concert poster highlighted multiple times was nice.

NEGATIVES…

  • Although it has its fair share of surprises, it still feels like a generally derivative story. 

  • Too slow a burn for my taste. 

  • Despite a solid cold opening scene, the actual crime mystery didn't quite grab my interest.  

  • Honestly could have just been more compelling for what it is. 

  • There's a moment in the third act that just seemed dumb dumb dumb.
