Those Who Wish Me Dead

So Predictable and weak

It was like watching a Lifetime movie. Nothing special.

Don't waste your time with this! So slow, bland, almost non-existent plot, scenes and characters. The only thing unpredictable was how predictable it was... Not even the fight scenes are exciting. It's a pity because the location and effects are really something, and with a selection of great actors, you'd think more could be done to amp it up, but no.

Great movie. Good suspense and action. Angelina did a good job. It was entertaining and enjoyable. Critics are always looking for some deep meaning. This was a premise that has been done before, but it was still very enjoyable.

Not a bad movie, but Allison was a much more pivotal and interesting character than Hannah. Jolie (Hannah) seemed to have ZERO compassion, interest or bonding with the boy who witnessed his fathers murder.

Taylor Sheridan is a very reliable director and screenwriter, crafting projects that feel unique in terms of presentation. Those Who Wish Me Dead might be the most conventional story I've seen him helm, but he gets a lot out of it. Angelina Jolie has had a fairly sparse acting filmography over the last decade or so, mostly because she's been focusing on both family and directing. She doesn't have the action chops that she used to, but the film never pretends that she's still Lara Croft, with much more focus on her emotional range rather than her physicality. At its heart, it's a pretty simple story about someone ‘knowing too much' and an evil businessman in a suit wanting them eliminated as a result. The businessman in question is played, for no discernible reason, by Tyler Perry, who only appears in one scene and could have been played by literally anyone else, or cut out entirely. What I really liked about the film is that the main baddies, a couple of henchmen played by Nicholas Hoult and Aiden Gillen, are actually portrayed as very competent. Rather than just being dumb thugs who are easily dispatched, them being ruthless, efficient and driven makes them a palpable threat, and their defeat is all the more satisfying as a result. If you look past its well-worn, no surprises plot, TWWMD is a very entertaining thriller that adds just enough character and emotion to keep you engaged. Sometimes, that's all you need in a film.

Great cast, action-sequences, and sfx can not overcome a goofy story chock full of implausible coincidences and gaping plot holes.

This was seriously awful from beginning to the end.

Not a terrible movie but wouldn't recommend the film to anyone unless they are an Angelina Jolie fan.

Nonexistent plot but lots of action. We have 🤷‍♂️ why so many people die. Star of the movie is Finn Little.
