PLUS POINTS:
- Those Who Wish Me Dead was fascinated more than anything, especially given the embroilment of Taylor Sheridan as a co-writer and generator.
- Sheridan, a producer of the hit series Yellowstone, has been implicated in work that excites my business, including as the representative of Sicario and Hell or High Water.
- Those Who Wish Me Dead surprised me. The neo-Western-inflected work is a lean, engaging, action-packed shot of adrenaline striking in its aesthetic judgments and boasts some enjoyable turns from its actors.
- The film begins moderately jaggedly, jumping between Montana mountain areas and the Florida coastline as it sets the boards for the violence that happens.
- The passionate film is often thought of as a rational exercise. But watching Those Who Wish Me Dead warned me of the kind of films that can make you yelp with joy or fear.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
Those Who Wish Me Dead gives a much more giant sandbox for the gifted actor-turned-action maven, whose books for Sicario and Hell or High Water have launched him to the front of a class dominated by CG robots superheroes, and other IP once connected with Saturday morning cartoons. Such videos are plenty popular, but this one marks a welcome departure, one planned for grown-ups seeking more ‘realistic’ diversion without short changing conferences regarding either spectacle or sound.
