THE LITTLE THINGS
Denzel Washington has appeared in several edgy movies as a not exactly good guy. This time he appears saddled with guilt, but no crime is evident. Â
 In this set-in-the-1990s psychological thriller, Washington, plays overweight and troubled rural Kern County, California deputy sheriff Joe âDekeâ Deacon. On an errand from Kern Country, he travels back home to the Los Angeles Sheriffâs Department. Fascinated by a new murder case, Deke takes vacation days and insinuates himself into working with hotshot Sgt. Jim Baxter (Rami Malek) to find a possible serial killer.
