Taylor Sheridanseems to have taken the entertainment world by storm.

Vileis very much a product of the torture subgenre of horror that immediately followed the success of 2004’sSaw.

Sheridan co-wrote the screenplay withWill Staples, and the film also starsJamie BellandJodie Turner-Smith.

Tom Clancy’sJack Ryanmoviesare well-known, with many becoming outright classics of the action genre.

Sadly,Without Remorsecan’t really measure up, despite Jordan’s best efforts.

Those Who Wish Me Deadrelies entirely on Sheridan’s ability behind the camera and Jolie’s action-star quality.

The plot is nothing out of the ordinary, and the supporting cast is somewhat wasted.

Yet,when Jolie and Sheridan are this good, everything else pretty much takes a backseat.

Wind Riveroffersa near-perfect blend of the themes that most interest Sheridan.

Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro co-star alongsideDaniel Kaluuya,Victor Garber, and Jon Bernthal.

Sicariois a masterful action thriller, packing enoughvisceral themes and visuals to both shock and entertain.
