Minor things, but at the start of a film they are deadly for turning off an audience. But that moment they needed … I think Leto sold the performance enough for it to make sense that he got hit, bringing his kid's into it and shit, but the lack of reasoning to get in the car and for him to dig, kinda broke the whole last act for me. By Laken Howard. I haven't seen Bohemian Rhapsody though but I guess thats different as he's playing a real life person, [–]marsthedog 10 points11 points12 points 1 month ago* (0 children). Nah it was implied that Leto wasn't necessarily the killer and Denzel just sent him the beret so that Malek wouldn't live the rest of his life w/ regret like Denzel does. [–]Shoresy_X_69 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (1 child). Am I right - Denzel sent Rami a Beret to relieve him. Its all good playa. It’s one of those things. The Mummy (1999) is one of the most entertaining films I've ever seen. Amazing!" It's a shame it too about 50 minutes for him to actually get introduced into the film though, [–]JustWantTheDayOff 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (4 children). [–]Akmal441 2 points3 points4 points 28 days ago (3 children). Its easy to get down, depressed, angry. What did Denzel's character say in the shop that made Leto kinda turn? Yeah, I read an interview with the director, and he said the movie is about 98% the same as the script from nearly 30 years ago. Doesn't have a payoff like one. I was making popcorn, half watching the beginning. I was waiting for the film to end to come looking for this on Reddit. I really wouldn't call it novel. It’s a little frustrating to watch for those reasons, but the performances are decent and there’s a couple solid moments. No one is caught or has to pay for these mistakes. The scene in which Denzel Washington and Jared Leto’s cars end up on opposite ends of the freeway multiple times was so unintentionally funny. [–]cheerfulwish 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago (0 children), Thanks! Leto was good (and probably the best in the movie) but was he acting or is he just a weirdo in real life? I had to rewind the movie.. legitimately thought I missed a scene and there was a good reason she was suddenly on foot. When he was digging I thought he was gaining time for Denzel arrive, then I started thinking that a plot twist Seven style was going to happen, like, Leto mention his wife and daughter, I thought their bodies would be buried there for him to find. [–]Loose_Conflict_4522 12 points13 points14 points 1 month ago (0 children). The writing was terrible. So far WB is 0/2 in their home theater trials. [–]No-Midnight-2187 20 points21 points22 points 1 month ago (8 children). If they just wanted to move in to ooh, cop done a bad thing, let's cover each other's arse territory, there are much more believable ways of getting there. [–]jretchy 10 points11 points12 points 1 month ago (2 children). [–]jretchy 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children), I liked Leto in this too. Dave and Volpe are back to rate, review and discuss the newly released neo-noir crime thriller, 'The Little Things.' So many smash cuts for the dialogue scenes. and Leto is just like "yeah, sounds like a good time.". Woodbridge is the cold spot with a temperature of … It may be easier to avoid Apple Music, but you still can't set a new default. Jared Leto was chewing the scenery like mad and I was distracted by him in every scene. I mean, that's what I took from the movie, I could've missed something, [–]Infinite_allen 5 points6 points7 points 1 month ago (0 children). [–]Infinite_allen 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (4 children). They should've switched Malek and Leto's roles, though I think Leto might be too old to portray the young hotshot detective. If it's not listed here then we didn't have an official discussion on it. Summary of this movie is 'old cop comes in, ruins new cop's career.' Boring movie. [–]onedoor 15 points16 points17 points 1 month ago (1 child). Although, i had my doubts on denzel when he was watching the murdered girl from a window as if he got away from the kill, but its still unclear who was the killer, they just didn't show enough proof for us to believe if he's actually the killer or not. The dog doesn’t have to mean anything. [–]unforgiven91 2 points3 points4 points 28 days ago (0 children). Everything else it's like Elliot trying to act and it just doesn't work for me at all. Basically, it was a case of "not enough of anything.". [–]AlmostJosiah 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago (0 children). Win or lose I love the intensity and rythm of the game. Rami was so horribly miscast in this. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. You can still have Joe left hanging not knowing if the killer is still out there and carrying the burden for him and Jimmy with the whole red beret thing but do this without giving the audience the cinematic equivalent of blue balls by at least showing us something to indicate that Albert was or wasn't the killer. reposting my comment from the other discussion thread since this one is a week late from the mods: how this scene made it into the final cut of the movie is beyond fucking me https://imgur.com/gallery/9UGGv6t, [–]destrimitrus 38 points39 points40 points 1 month ago (3 children). But then again a detective randomly drives out to the middle of nowhere and starts digging holes with the serial killer, so reality has left this movie a while back. I feel the same way. Just 10mins into had to text him Wasn't crazy about the opening, which had the classic 80s/90s trope of "character does something stupid just to advance the plot. Thread starter backbreaker; Start date Jul 10, 2017; B. backbreaker Master Don Juan. Because he had to know. It might be range. Lmao. There's some detective work, but it starts to get pushed into the background; so we're teased with some neat sleuthing, but then it all goes away. The film felt like it was supposed to be a noir, but never got there. Denzel was good. What a dumb movie. We started hosting official discussion threads in /r/movies in 2012, but we didn't create the weekly official discussion thread until 2013. I think what wasn’t beat upon enough was the obsessive nature of Rami’s character. It was made obvious who the bad guy is early. We’re just making some space for a human scale of discussion, which just might have the possibility of really counting for something big. He got in the car because of his obsession. What was Denzel referring to and what was Leto's response that set him off? Was there any actual mementos, aside from news clippings? I mean, finding out Washington's character killed a survivor had the potential to be this crazy sucker punch for Baxter. The Little Things is set in 1990 Southern California. I personally thought it was a really fun time though for whatever that's worth. [–]Kennymo95 8 points9 points10 points 22 days ago (0 children), I'm glad we got a 3 minute scene of Denzel and his ex-wife exchanging pleasantries. This just kind of shit the bed in doing it. I didn't like this. From the moment Malek gets in the car with Leto. Although I have to be honest, I’m not sure I can figure out Malek’s appeal as an actor. [–]obeythed 4 points5 points6 points 1 month ago (1 child). Happens pretty much every other scene. There was one point when I joked that the director used a PowerPoint transition. But it two separate scenes of the film, the book Helter Skelter is in the center shot. [–]ChrisDuhhhhh 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children). A decent, insignificant crime thriller. Both looking and connecting things that aren’t there for the case, but there for them. It just doesn’t really amount to anything. So bad. Always be yourself. It’s just so silly, [–]PainTrainMD 15 points16 points17 points 27 days ago (0 children). A character that had boundless confidence in himself, despite every situation the detectives place him in... mostly because he knew he didn't do anything. Makes terrible decisions, like going for a ride, alone with a murder suspect? And the sparring with Sparma is neat, but is eventually reduced to waiting outside his house. And you will learn everything you need to know to become a huge success with women. Just a grizzled dude who happens to have a Scottish accent trying to save his family. But whatever intriguing place you imagine the movie might go based on the trailer is almost definitely better than the movie itself. All things set aside, who was the fucking killer in this movie? People who are crime buffs might keep newspaper clippings regarding a serial killer. It's pretty rough by today's standards. I have even taken to planning my wknds around them.

[–]25_M_CA 0 points1 point2 points 27 days ago (0 children), Anyone think the movie would be better if Malik and Leto switched parts, [–]HawkAviator 0 points1 point2 points 26 days ago (0 children), I thought it was better than most commenters seem to think. [–]hazychestnutz 286 points287 points288 points 1 month ago (16 children). Straight up boring and nothing happened. Is she the only person who will ever see the corpse? That the "darkness" doesn't mean getting close to evil in a True Detective kind of way, but being unable to separate friend from foe when it matters, innocent from guilty. The movie ended and I didn't even care. Today, Reddit asks the question: Married people of Reddit, what are the ‘little things’ that keep your marriage healthy? I still think Malek would've been better as the creepy suspect. [–]loganwe999 5 points6 points7 points 1 month ago (0 children). Although they didn't really do a good job of setting up his desperation in finding this girl, so it kind of loses any impact. I feel like Malek was super miscast? I really wanted to like it and I feel there was a good movie somewhere in there. And The Highwaymen in particular had much deeper characters while covering similar ground: what chasing killers can do to someone's mind.
