It’s been a while since Angelina Jolie made it to the big screen. With Those Who Wish Me Dead, she seems to be coming back again, to the kind of role she plays well. An intensely carved character, set against harrowing odds, with no small supply of in depth emotion.

Set in the Montana wilderness, Jolie (Maleficent, The One And Only Ivan) is Hannah Faber, a broken survival expert, haunted by a rescue mission gone wrong, and secluded to a lookout tower.

This solitary life is interrupted when she encounters a boy on the run, and covered in blood that turns out, belongs to someone else.

That someone else turns out to be his father, who was apparently killed in an ambush shortly before. The boy who had just escaped the ambush, is now being hunted by the assassins who took his father’s life.

The rest of the story follows a cat-and-mouse game where Faber and the boy try desperately to elude the assassins, who have started a wildfire to either smoke them out, or consume them.

The film is helmed by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Wind River), and it seems to continue in his usual theme of portraying stories set in a modern version of the wild west. From his writing credits (Hell Or High Water, Sicario), to his directorial work, his characters are exist in modern times, but still navigate their lives and their obstacles in a culture that while they appear antiquated, serve to emphasize it’s timeless nature.

Jolie is joined by an impressive cast that includes Jon Bernthal (Yeah. The Punisher himself), Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Tolkien), Aidan Gillen (Game Of Thrones, The Dark Knight Rises), and Tyler Perry (Madea Series, Cross).

The film’s American release is scheduled for May 14th.
