The Little Things (2021)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
At first glance, the cast of 'The Little Things' is surprising. Rami Malek ('Bohemian Rhapsody'), Denzel Washington ('Training Day') and Jared Leto ('Dallas Buyers Club') form the main trio. Meanwhile, the plot tells the story of Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe "Deke" Deacon (Washington), who is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence collection. Instead, he gets involved in the search for a serial killer terrorizing the city. In charge of the case, Jim Baxter (Rami Malek), a Los Angeles Police Department detective, impressed with Deke's instincts, unofficially appoints the officer to help him. With echoes of 'Seven', the feature film tries to complicate the story more than is possible, getting tangled up in difficult comings and goings to decipher. Even more so with John Lee Hancock's (‘The Highwaymen’) confusing and personality-less direction. But at least Denzel Washington is a spectacle on the screen, with his tics and quirks further perfecting the character.

The Highwaymen
"Roads Without Law" is a detective thriller directed by John Lee Hancock (of “Walt Disney Behind The Scenes of Mary Poppins” and “The Blind Side”), which seeks to bring to the spotlight the detectives who captured the infamous criminal duo Bonnie & Clyde - that is, the opposite side of the story that everyone knows. Thus, Hancock focuses on the work of the police officers, brilliantly played by veterans Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. Even though the script is not out of the ordinary (and you already know the end), the protagonists make the movie worth it.
Mr. Harrigan's Phone
Based on a Stephen King story, 'Mr. Harrigan's Phone' follows the story of a boy whose only companion is a mysterious old man, Mr. Harrigan of the title. Everything changes when the elderly man dies - and the cellphone he was given shortly before continues to send messages and receive calls. Once again, director John Lee Hancock creates an incredible atmosphere of terror for almost an hour, as he did in 'The Little Things', but not much else happens - not much happens. Nevertheless, the entire narrative presented is well done and the cast is good, with Jaeden Martell ('It: The Thing') and Donald Sutherland ('The Hunger Games'). There is a tone of mystery, but in the end there is no development. It is worth it for the curiosity and for being a work of the King of Terror.
Thriller
Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga
An exclusive Indian thriller on Netflix in which a flight attendant and her boyfriend, deep in debt, decide to steal some valuable diamonds aboard a plane. What could go wrong? Everything, when they discover that a gang of kidnappers is also on board with their own agenda. Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is somewhat predictable, and its beginning is a bit slow. However, it fully embraces the absurdity and tension of its premise once the protagonists' plan goes wrong. It's not an essential movie, but it is very entertaining.
