Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)

IMDb plot summary: A teenage murder witness finds himself pursued by twin assassins in the Montana wilderness with a survival expert tasked with protecting him -- and a forest fire threatening to consume them all.

Directed by Taylor Sheridan. Starring Angelina Jolie, Nicholas Hoult, Finn Little, and Jon Bernthal.

This movie is very... middle-of-the-road. The most interesting pieces of it by far are the villains, who have a cold ruthlessness that we've seen on film before but somehow seems more out of place here and therefore more malicious. There's a strange bit in the middle about how difficult it is to be a firefighter, which doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of this story. This isn't a bad movie, but it's mostly forgettable and isn't going to linger in my mind.
