Those Who Wish Me Dead
A young boy finds himself pursued by two assassins in the Montana wilderness, with a survival expert determined to protect him, and a forest fire threatening to consume them all.
Critics Sentiment
Allison tracks down and kills Jack in forest combat
Patrick is left to burn to death in the approaching wildfire
The film peaks with Allison's badass pregnant warrior sequence then drops significantly as the climax becomes predictable and melodramatic.
Those Who Wish Me Dead starts as a competent thriller with strong early tension and impressive wildfire visuals, but gradually loses steam in its second half. Critics consistently praised supporting performances, especially Medina Senghore as the pregnant deputy's wife, while finding the overall execution adequate but forgettable. The film succeeds as watchable popcorn entertainment but lacks the creative spark needed to elevate it beyond genre conventions.
