Return to Cinema 2021 - Those Who Wish Me Dead

Those Who Wish Me Dead is Angelina Jolie's return to cinema. Like most of us the return to cinema has taken us a while. This is a long way from Maleficent for Jolie.

Meanwhile Jolie is joined by Australian Finn Little as Connor, Jon Bernthal, Medina Senghore, and Jake Weber.

Directed by Taylor Sheridan (Sons of Anarchy, Yellowstone and Veronica Mars) Those Who Wish Me Dead follows a boy (Finn Little) who witnesses the murder of his father and goes on the run with a smokejumper (Angelina Jolie) in the Montana wilderness to escape a pair of assassins (Nicholas Hoult and Aidan Gillen). Meanwhile a bushfire is raging and shit is going down all over the shop. 

There is a lot happening in this film.


I was lucky enough to see this film at my local independent Palace Cinemas for $5 and putting a price on this action, thriller, adventure, drama (so many genres all in this film) I would say the price is right @ $5 per ticket.

The film literally jumps all over the shop but Jolie completely shines as the lead as does Finn Little.

So much drama compacted into 100 minutes. It's passable at 3 Stars.
