Too late to the screen

 

Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)

Directed by Taylor Sheridan this film based on the novel of the same name stars Angelina Jolie, Finn Little, Aidan Gillen and Nicholas Hoult. A smokejumper who has been grounded protects a boy from assassins out to kill him.

If this film had been made 25 years ago it probably would have been a smash hit. As is this film is a bit of a bland thriller where characters too often do something stupid. In the lead role Angelina Jolie has very little to work with, too much of the script is just going by the numbers rather than involving actual character growth.
