It seems society is still in our Denzel Washington era because guess who has a movie zooming up the Prime Video charts today? We are here for this film as it reclaims its place in the Top 10 list. Allow me to introduce you to the neo-thriller The Little Things, which has the internet shaken this week.

Warner Brothers Official Synopsis

“Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon (Washington) is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence‐gathering assignment. Instead, he becomes embroiled in the search for a serial killer who is terrorizing the city. Leading the hunt, L.A. Sheriff Department Sergeant Jim Baxter (Malik), impressed with Deke’s cop instincts, unofficially engages his help. But as they track the killer, Baxter is unaware that the investigation is dredging up echoes of Deke’s past, uncovering disturbing secrets that could threaten more than his case.”

The Little Things was written and directed by John Lee Hancock. It stars Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, Natalie Morales, Terry Kinney, Chris Bauer, and Michael Hyatt.

As usual, the internet is losing it over another flawless Denzel Washington performance. However, people are also here for the combo of Denzel and Rami Malek because we love it when powerhouse actors get to work together. This movie has turned quite a few familiar faces into fan girls alongside the rest of us because celebrities and industry folks are also Tweeting about how much they love it.

See what Twitter is saying

Only Denzel could pull off a line like “Your d*ck is as hard as Chinese Arithmetic.” #thelittlethings

It is such a pleasure watching Denzel Washington work… I want to stay in the habit of exalting folks while they’re still alive and appreciating who they are and what they do. Can’t fit into a tweet all of what I love about his work but he’s a MASTER… #TheLittleThings

The Little Things ★★★
Listen I recognise #TheLittleThings' massive flaws, but I still enjoyed it. An a-list neo-noir thriller is a very rare thing these days. The Se7en comparisons are inevitable with Denzel Washington and Rami Malek playing cops, & @JaredLeto playing a creep. pic.twitter.com/3moz50kHVj

Denzel Washington is so damn great every damn time I don’t understand it.
I didn’t love #TheLittleThings BUT he makes it an emotional experience.
I don’t think another actor had been has great for as long.
Like he’s never had a sub par performance even in not great films ever

2/3 of the way into #TheLittleThings and this feels like a throwback to a good 90s thriller, with Denzel Washington, Jared Leto, and Rami Malek on top of their game. Brilliant movie.

Take me away. #TheLittleThings

I thought Denzel, Rami, & Jared all were fantastic. Rami has the ability to get me to empathize with all his characters & he has a unique look & style that is refreshing. Def not same-old-same-old. #RamiMalek #TheLittleThings #TheLittleThingsMovie https://t.co/ZV0xvgsQuD
