Terminally-ill hitman is set up by his boss to be killed, and he picks up a runaway teenage hooker on his way back for revenge. This forms the oddest of odd couples in this noir crime movie, with a result that is predictably heartbreaking. Both indie darlings Foster and Fanning again and again prove they're waiting for their huge upcoming break, and actress Mélanie Laurent (Shosanna from Inglourious Basterds) surprises with her directing skills (she's been directing for quite some time). The hard-to-look-away Galveston is one of those rare gems people like me run into by watching too many movies.
