If you liked 'Seven', you have to watch this "exciting" serial killer story on Netflix with Jared Leto, which Spielberg almost directed.

A story of unsolved crimes, a serial killer who defies logic, and three Oscar winners trapped in a psychological game filled with shadows. This is one of the most intense thrillers currently available on the video-on-demand (VOD) platform Netflix , starring Jared Leto in one of his most disturbing performances.

It is a police thriller set in 1990s Los Angeles, which revolves around a string of unsolved murders . Jared Leto plays the prime suspect, an enigmatic character who always targets young girls under the same modus operandi, and who challenges the detectives played by Denzel Washington and Rami Malek .

Little Things , directed by John Lee Hancock, recovers the codes of the classic thriller with a more introspective approach, and its atmosphere is reminiscent of titles such as Seven or Zodiac . The psychological crime film not only kept viewers on the edge of their seats, but also generated significant acclaim for its cast. The Hollywood Reporter called it "riveting for its detailed exploration of the main characters."

Leto was nominated for a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for his haunting role as Albert Sparma. His performance was key to the film's initial success, and although critics were divided , the magnetism of the lead trio made the film one of the most consistent offerings of 2021.

The story behind the filming adds an extra layer of interest. The script was written by Hancock in 1993 , when Steven Spielberg was even considered for directing, although he ultimately rejected the project due to its dark tone. After decades in development, the director decided to take on The Little Things himself, bringing together three greats of contemporary cinema in an interpretive duel where certainties fade away.
