What they share
Theyboth carry the dread, paranoid, raw mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Little Things, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What City of Lies is
Bullet casings glint under flickering streetlights at 3 a.m. A rogue LAPD detective and a disgraced journalist dig into two unsolved rap murders, their flashlights cutting through decades of sealed files. Brad Furman’s procedural drags the city’s rot into daylight, one leaked memo at a time.
