It pains me to give Denzel Washington a less than stellar review, but that’s the best I can do with this movie.
It was a very tired, overused plot that added nothing to the genre. The acting was respectable although no one is going to walk away with an Oscar. There didn’t seem to be any chemistry between Denzel and Rami, but maybe that’s what the director was going for.
If you’re a fan of the old detective shows from the 70s — such as The Rockford Files, Colombo, or Barnaby Jones — then you’ll enjoy The Little Things.
The World's Most Indispensable Movie App
The RunPee app tells you the best times to run & pee during a movie so you don't miss the best scenes.

Denzel does pull off the old wrinkled suit with his own style added, and I can’t find fault in that.
Grade: C+
About The Peetimes: This is a slow paced movie, making it easy to get 3 good Peetimes. If you can wait, the last Peetime is the best. It’s mostly just a driving scene, with very little dialog.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of The Little Things. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)
Rated (R) n/a
Genres: Crime, Drama, Thriller

RunPee Mom is our emotional bedrock. Without her, RunPee never would have lasted a decade as an app (which is since the dawn of time in internet years). She’s our biggest cheerleader and an unending source of unconditional love. She works cheerfully and tirelessly, seeing any movie we ask of her, writing interesting reviews, and being our…well…MOM. Her genres of choice: kiddie flicks, animated movies, emotional dramas, historical features, war films, diverse biographies, and even dense, diabolically plotted thrillers. She knows more about famous and infamous figures in history than said figures probably knew about themselves. She’s the Quiz Manager for the RunPee.com blog, and our resident movie celebrity/trivia expert. If you’ve taken a RunPee Quiz, you’ve most likely been given a virtual hug by RunPee Mom.

Yikes! I’m headed to see it now. Of course I never go to the movies without reading RunPee’s perspective. Plus, I thought I might need to do the Pee Times…LOL. Stay tuned for my thoughts
