Of the seven feature films Taylor Sheridan has worked on behind the camera, “Those Who Wish Me Dead” is only the third where he has both written and directed. In some ways, it’s his weakest effort to date but it is also his most audience-friendly. Keep in mind, the word “weakest” here is highly relative. What might be “weak” for Sheridan would equate to excellent or unattainable for 98 percent of all other writer/directors.
