I just don’t care for people who put those kind of people down,” Washington told Yahoo!

‘Bigbug’ Review: Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s ‘The Jetsons’ & Robot Uprising Sci-Fi Comedy Is Scatterbrained

Jean-Pierre Jeunet can be a master juggler of a filmmaker, letting many different pieces achieve weightlessness while our attention is rapt. When it’s graceful and methodical, it can have the dreamy qualities of “Delicatessen” or “Amelie.” But when the trick doesn’t work, it can be mighty exhausting to follow along with, as with his new Netflix film “Bigbug.” This movie has Jeunet doing “The Jetsons” while ruminating on what a robot uprising might inevitably look like, but that proves to be less exciting than one could ever imagine.

Denzel Washington & Rami Malek Thriller ‘The Little Things’ Counts $4.8M Debut, Best For Older Guy Fare During Pandemic B.O.

Sunday AM Final: If you’re looking for any exciting financial action to come out of the movie business, it’s not at the box office, rather the stock exchange, especially in last week’s boom for No. 1 exhibitor AMC. The continued closure of movie theaters during Covid, with only 45% of all 5,8K U.S. and Canada movie theaters opened, yielded Warner Bros. Denzel Washington-Rami Malek thriller The Little Things this past weekend which only opened to $4.8M at 2,171 theaters, the best for an R-rated movie and older guy fare during the pandemic. Worldwide The Little Things made $7.6M with money from 20 markets including Russia, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and United Artists Emirates.

The drama offers the trope of a grizzled veteran cop (Denzel Washington) conflicting with a talented younger detective who’s made the grade (Rami Malek), the way they clash, break balls, their various obsessions, a haunted past, and a quirky, alleged serial killer (Jared Leto), not afraid to tease and taunt the police.

'The Little Things': Film Review

The psychological toll of investigative police work seeps into the bones of John Lee Hancock's gritty neo-noir The Little Things, which captures Los Angeles County's flat urban sprawl and snaking freeways to highly atmospheric effect. If the director's generally taut original screenplay settles on an ending too cryptic to be fully satisfying, the performances of Denzel Washington and Rami Malek as cops from the old school and the new who end up having more in common than they anticipated supply enough glue to hold everything together.
