Writer and director Taylor Sheridan (Sicario, Hell or high water) the latest epic is the modern western People who want me dead. Known for its character-centric scripts about everyday people encountering extraordinary situations, this latest film looks to be another winner.
Based on the novel of the same name by Michael Koryta, the film stars Angelina Jolie as firefighter Hannah Faber. Stationed high above the trees in a fire tower in the middle of the Montana wilderness, her job is to watch for any signs of fire danger.
Instead, she comes across a young boy (Finn Little) being chased by two assassins (Nicholas Holt and Aidan Gillen). When a massive fire begins to burn out of control, Jolie must use her wits and experience to keep the boy safe from hired killers while sprinting away from the flames.
I’m very excited about this movie, as Sheridan never fails to deliver, and seeing Jolie play a non-animated character and actually act was amazing. The addition of Holt and Gillen as the killers and the always reliable Jon Bernthal as the local sheriff is another positive about this film.
People who want me dead is being released in theaters and on HBO Max on May 14.
