Wracked with guilt over a past assignment gone wrong, Hannah makes it her mission to keep the mysterious Connor Casserly (Finn Little) safe, after finding the blood-spattered and traumatized young boy wandering alone through the Montana wilderness.
He’s being hunted by the Blackwells (Aidan Gillen and Nicholas Hoult), an unnerving and relentless father-son team of assassins who are prepared to raze entire forests to the ground in order to wipe out their target.
As the inferno rips through the Montana wilderness, Hannah, Connor and the Blackwells are forced closer and closer together, until there’s no more running to be done.

Watch Those Who Wish Me Dead: is it any good?
First reactions seem to imply the movie is thoroughly entertaining while not ground-breaking. It's been noted that the subject matter (if not setting) has diverged from director Taylor Sheridan's usual shades of grey, and instead delivers a pretty black-and-white experience.
As a straight up and down thriller, though, it's got a lot going for it, and we wouldn't be surprised if we saw the movie itself prove very popular - despite what our writer thought in his Those Who Wish Me Dead review.
