Yes, but what was the point?

When his father is killed while fleeing from hitmen, young Connor flees into the forest where he falls in with Hannah, a firefighter whose mojo was injured during a forest fire tragedy. Together they must escape not only the hitmen but also the firest fire they started.

Welcome to another curate's egg. Angelina Jolie's Hannah is a tolerable second banana supporting Finn Little as the newly orphaned evidence-bearing Connor. This kid is seriously good, by far the best thing in the film. The plot idea is fine, the danger is plausible, the actions of the improbably Amazonian deupty's wife are nlikely but satisfying, and most of what happens is unoriginal but tolerable.

But the film is built on the threat of the hitmen and Connor and his Dad fleeing them - some effort and time is devoted to setting this up. And then two things happen. One, the hitmen go from being murderously efficient to bumblingly inept. And, two, there is never any real oayoff as regards the maguffin which thrus Connor inharm's way in the first place - without even knowing why and who, you are left to assume that Connor's crumpled and soaked bits of paper will remove him from jeopardy. This is careless screenwriting and devalues the fil significantly, adding a note of dissatisfaction to an otherwise adequate action thriller.

Felt like a late night TV movie.

If it wasn't for Angelina Jolie being cast in the lead, I might have mistaken 'Those who wish me dead' for a TV movie.

The best part about the movie was the beautiful cinematography. Apart from that, there really was nothing here to make this a memorable viewing experience. We have a Dad on the run from assassins because he stumbled upon information he's not suppose to have and now they want him dead, but not enough information is given on what information exactly he possesses. I thought it might be revealed later, but alas, they never did. On the run with him, is his son Connor.

None of the characters are fleshed out. The only one with a bit of a back story, is Hannah (Jolie) - the film's heroin - but even her back story feels forced, and her memories become pretty much deja vu. The best character by far, was Allison (played by Medina Senghore). She made the best decisions and came across as the strongest character. All the other characters made strange and unrealistic decisions throughout the movie.

This movie could have gone in so many directions, but instead it was just plodding along, with the fire making it more interesting. The visual effects were fine. The climax felt a bit rushed and nothing spectacular. I doubt I'm going to remember this movie after a while - and honestly, I won't even miss it. It felt like something I've seen before, just in a different set-up.

Would I watch it again? No.

Great drama action thriller

I can see why people didn't like the film mostly cause it's a drama but with action and thriller moments. The story is good and it gets you hooked even tho it builds and takes its time. The acting is great and the action scenes are well done. The directing is great too. Just don't go into the film thinking it will be just an action film cause it's not.
