- Synopsis:
- Debt collector and sometime-killer Roy (Ben Foster) survives a death-trap assignment set by his loan-shark boss. The would-be killers are mostly dead and he is just about alive. Before making his getaway, Roy discovers a young prostitute, Rocky (Elle Fanning) hiding in the back room, and he sees something in her frightened, defiant eyes that prompts a fateful decision. He takes her with him as he flees New Orleans to Galveston - an action as ill-advised as it is inescapable.

Unpredictable Ending - Galveston review by BG
I thought I had the ending sussed with a conventional Hollywood ending, but I was wrong. In case you do get to the end, no spoiler. Maybe not enough action for some, but Ben Foster is excellent, and there is an unexpected killing.

Drawn-out bore - Galveston review by Alphaville
Gritty, poorly-shot drama has little going for it, not even a music score to add drama to proceedings. Filmed mostly in dark interiors by a director who has no sense of what to do with a camera. The two leading characters – a killer and a prostitute on the run – are deeply unappealing and uninteresting. Cut to under 90 minutes, it still feels like a drawn-out student project.
