Angelina Jolie is back and now she’s taking on in a fiery western thriller
Those Who Wish Me Dead: playing a firefighter in the Montana wilderness, in the land of “it’s best not to really think about it.”
Adapted from the 2014 bestseller from Michael Koryta, who also wrote the screenplay with director Taylor Sheridan, the master behind
Sicario,
Hell or High Water and the screenwriter for Without Remorse.
Hannah, played by Jolie, is a specialist firefighter called a smoke-jumper: the kind who jumps from planes directly into forest fires. Still processing the horrific death of children from a previous fire, she is now an angry reckless mess in need of a therapist. However, Hannah’s life changes when she cross paths and tackles a kid named Connor (Finn Little) whose widower dad Owen (Jake Weber) is in danger because of a political corruption case for which he, as a forensic accountant, holds all the incriminating information.
