Critics Consensus

A squarely traditional '90s-style action thriller, Those Who Wish Me Dead is elevated by Taylor Sheridan's propulsive direction.

Audience Says

The edge-of-your-seat action helps Those Who Wish Me Dead cover for the rough patches in its plot -- and the onscreen bond between Angelina Jolie and Finn Little takes care of the rest.

Those Who Wish Me Dead wants to be a neo-western with a heart, but its damaged heroes are straight from the cliche playbook.

Rated: 2/5

Those Who Wish Me Dead has a tendency to veer into the over-sentimental and it has an ending that is heart-on-its-sleeve earnest. But this taut, contained story with well-directed action is as an effective thriller.

Rated: 3/5

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

It's very very by the numbers, ticking all the genre boxes, and the cliches sometimes become too much, but it is what it is as popcorn entertainment doing a lot of subversive things around the edges...

Within five minutes on-screen, Jolie reminds us why she’s a worldwide star. Suddenly you wonder why she’s been gone this long and how she can stay a bit longer.

Tense white knuckle survival tale that is a total throwback to 90’s movies. It’s brutal, it’s visceral, & it’s just flat out awesome. Jolie is phenomenal but really the whole cast is.

A surprisingly good film. Good story line and outstanding scenery. Above-average acting, lots of suspense and a hard look into the life of firefighters, with a first-class display of the power of nature. Recommended.

Great story line. Full of action. Still a bit of cliffhanger. Left you wanting a part 2.
