The Little Things (2021)

Joe Deacon has a simple travelling task, but he gets distracted by a local serial murder investigation that shouldn't be his problem.

"The Little Things" is a police thriller with a traditional recipe and a few surprises. With an appealing cast, the film already has expectations from the get go. Not quite perfect, but perfectly entertaining. Denzel Washington, even on his own, deserves attracting an audience, but together with Rami Malek, with whom he has a very interesting rapport, the reasons to watch the film multiply.

Director:  John Lee Hancock    

With: Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, Jared Leto, Chris Bauer

No Time to Die (2021)

James Bond is officially retired but finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy around a weapon that attacks target DNA after he decides to help a friend who works for the CIA.

'No Time To Die' is the most recent film from the Bond series, the last with Daniel Craig in the role that made him famous. The plot is quite interesting but all the events that follow are like an endless display of suspenseful scenes and chases that at some point all blur into each other. The film is however quite well done, with impressive effects and an attractive cast, and the ending was unexpected.

Director:  Cary Joji Fukunaga      

With: Daniel Craig, Ana de Armas, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux

Rating: 8/10
