As survival flicks go, there have been far better (Deliverance) and significantly worse (a long and varied menu) than Those Who Wish Me Dead (TWWMD), which stars Angelina Jolie as a traumatised smoke jumper.

Given that it's directed and co-written by Taylor Sheridan, who wrote the Sicario films, from a novel by acclaimed crime and supernatural fiction writer Michael Koryta, one did have rather high hopes.

Summary:


Competent but unremarkable survival action thriller treats its supporting characters well, at the expense of its principal ones.
