11 movies to check out on Hulu this February

For February, Hulu brings home a bunch of under-the-radar indie offerings as well as at least one big-budget movie that has proved elusive on streaming services. The latter is The Abyss, James Cameron’s 1989 sci-fi film starring Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Michael Biehn that is challenging to find either digitally or even on disc. Also coming to Hulu in February is Naomi Watts in Infinite Storm, Luke Bracey in the mystery-thriller Mercy Road, Trace Lysette in the acclaimed drama Monica, Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum in the rom-com hit The Lost City, Angelina Jolie in Those Who Wish Me Dead, Oscar Best Picture winner Nomadland, and more.

Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021, available February 28)

In the action-thriller , Angelina Jolie plays a smokejumper who tries to protect a boy witness (Finn Little) by eluding a pair of assassins (Nicholas Hoult and Aiden Gillen) hired to kill him in the Montana wilderness. The A.V. Club’s , “Those Who Wish Me Dead is the kind of slim, mid-budget, action-crime boilerplate that Hollywood churned out on the regular in the ’90s. Back then, it might have starred Harrison Ford or Clint Eastwood or—if the budget dipped low enough—Howie Long. Today, it features Angelina Jolie, shedding any sultry glamour to play a firefighter thrust into a different kind of deadly inferno.”
