What’s new at the cinema this week
New box office releases coming in hot this weekend include the fully star-studded chase and evasion neo-Western,
Those Who Wish Me Dead. The movie stars Angelina Jolie, Nicholas Hoult and Finn Little and centres around a young boy named Connor Casserly (Little) who after witnessing the murder of his father, is pursued by a pair of assassins charged with silencing him. Connor’s best chance at survival is in the protective care of wilderness survival expert Hannah Faber (Jolie), but with enemies prepared to watch the world burn, even this may not be enough. Ever wondered how push bikes felt about the arrival of the internal combustion engine? No? Fair enough.
