the fiery explosions and chase sequences are handsomely shot, but the plot is undeniably absurd and the ominous/rousing soundtrack downright hokey. The plot is undeniably absurd, but the performances and banter make this worth watching
the drama is suspenseful, but lacks strong plot; while the film has all of the makings of a memorable neo-western and the protagonists are worth rooting for, its premise is lacking and vague
the contours of this story, and the tinges of genuine melancholy thrown into our path along the way, are very much to the point. They make it all work, and make it worth it
really, every actor is likable and, all by themselves, good here. It's that each situation is more ridiculous than the last and none of it fits together, even when everything gets tossed into the narrative blender toward the end
one of the best thrillers of our time; "Those Who Wish Me Dead" has great old-fashioned storytelling set against a breathtakingly beautiful backdrop, and there's never a wasted moment or throwaway line of dialogue in this expertly constructed story
Angelina Jolie phones it in for this barely functioning action-drama; "Those Who Wish Me Dead" feels like several screenplay scraps stapled into something that just might pass as a movie
a lean and mean throwback of a thriller bolstered by excellent performances and first-class filmmaking. Occasionally bites off more than its CG budget can chew, but when director Taylor Sheridan keeps the action grounded, it’s sweaty palms central
"Those Who Wish Me Dead" -- an enjoyable, absorbing, characterful testament to shuffling the whole deck of genre conventions, and then politely setting it on fire
