Those Who Wish Me Dead is an action-packed neo-Western thriller and I had a million thoughts racing through my head while watching it.
# 1 This movie was made to be seen in theaters
I’ve watched most of
Taylor Sheridan
Those Who Wish Me Dead from there, as well. Boy, was I wrong.
Before a single image even appeared on screen I was regretting not seeing this flick on the big screen. The film begins with
Brian Tyler
’s beautiful score over a series of opening credits against a black screen. Although I had my surround sound on and the volume jacked up, I just couldn’t do it justice. The opening score is incredible and demands to be heard on cinema speakers.
Memorial lambs: Richard Lancaster is pictured with his donated Swaledale ewe, joined by, from left, Alan Barker, Catherine Chappelhow, Ben Richardson and daughter Millie with the lamb, Tom Barker and Warren Porter. A MAGNIFICENT total of £2,240 was raised when generously donated sheep were sold at Skipton Auction Mart in memory of young Cumbrian farmer Hannah Brown, whose untimely death in March aged just 26 left the agricultural world in deep shock. For one so young, Hannah had become a well-known and greatly respected figure at Skipton, initially when growing up with her parents, mart regulars and multiple prime lamb champions Martin and Val Brown, when they farmed in Newton-le-Willows, then later in her own right as both a breeder and show winner.
Time Out says
This brazenly silly western thriller stars Angelina Jolie as a fierce Montana smoke-jumper
Danger has many flavours in
Those Who Wish Me Dead. Ferocious fires rage across the Montana wilderness. So do nightmarish storms. And most unsettlingly of all, so do two damn suave assassins: an unlikely duo, played by Aidan Gillen and Nicholas Hoult, who’ve been charged with hushing up a big political corruption case.
Unhappily for the protagonists in this impressively silly yet gripping western thriller, they will slay pretty much anyone who gets in their way. That even applies to Connor (Finn Little), a wise-for-his-years kid whose dad is a forensic accountant. He knows stuff he shouldn’t. They flee to the forests, Connor ends up lost and alone. And then, fortuitously, running along a creek, he meets Hannah (a fierce, assured Angelina Jolie), a ‘smoke-jumping’ firefighter who surveys the picturesque woodland from her watchtower.
