Rolling Stone ‘Those Who Wish Me Dead’: Angelina Jolie Is the Fiery Heart of This Neo-Western Thriller
Playing a smokejumper with an apparent death wish, the movie star deploys her gaze of steel to have us believing in her heroic abilities
By
Taylor Sheridan’s
Those Who Wish Me Dead adapted from Michael Koryta’s 2014 novel of the same name starts as three stories before whittling its way down to one. In the first, a smokejumper is haunted by memories of a burn gone wrong, in which she and other firefighters leapt into the wilds of a flame-swept Montana forest only for the wind to behave differently than they expected, and for a trio of young boys, running to be rescued, to succumb before their eyes. It’s the kind of job casualty you don’t simply get over. Suffice it to say, she doesn’t.
