Those Who Wish Me Dead

Those Who Wish Me Dead is an action thriller starring Angelina Jolie, Finn Little, Nicholas Hoult and Game of Throne’s Aidan Gillen. The film is set in the Montana wilderness and follows Hannah played by Jolie, a smokejumper, still reeling from a major trauma that she experienced. When she comes across Connor, a boy played by Finn Little, who has just witnessed the murder of his father and is on run for his life from a pair of trained assassins, played Nicholas Hoult and Aidan Gillen, Hannah and Connor must do whatever it takes to survive.

I enjoyed the cinematography with its beautiful vast landscapes.
I thought that the plot was unique and engaging. It was also a bit unpredictable. Even though not entirely realistic, I did like how a couple of the females were portrayed. They were incredibly tough, resourceful and could take on any man.

The casting choices were diverse and very interesting. I liked that there were quite a few notable actors who choose a part outside of their typical typecast. Angelina Jolie and Finn Little were a great duo. Even though Finn Little was quite young, in this role, he had very impressive range and played well off of Jolie.

In the end I felt like this was the perfect type of movie to watch from home. Not everyone will like this one but I liked it.
