The storyline of Those Who Wish Me Dead revolves around a traumatized and retired firefighter, Hannah Faber, played by Angelina Jolie, who had to protect a boy (Finn Little) from those who wish him dead.
When I first saw the trailer of Those Who Wish Me Dead, I expected a pretty simple thriller. And I was right. The promos showed most of the story, and the plot based on Michael Koryta’s novel of the same name was tried and tested a bunch of times before, so there weren’t any surprises here.
The acting was pretty decent across the board. Angelina Jolie gave what’s necessary to her character, and there wasn’t much complex emotion or scenes that required these actors to show their best. Even though the plot was simple, I still wanted a decent thriller, and the movie gave me that. There were some pretty okay-ish to intense action scenes, and they were handled well.
My biggest problem was the characters. In the beginning, the movie showed the event that traumatized the main character, played by Jolie. However, I did not see the significance of this event to the story at all. It did not impact her character when she was in the action scenes.

Besides the main character, there was minimal development to the other characters. Jon Bernthal was badass as usual, but I didn’t care for his character much or any other characters. Overall, Those Who Wish Me Dead is a decent thriller, but everything else was average and not memorable. There’s no need to watch this movie unless you have nothing better to do.
