201891 min6.1 / 10

A dark, melancholic road thriller about a hitman and a damaged woman fleeing toward an uncertain fate, driven by impulse and desperation rather than hope.

After a violent encounter, Roy finds Rocky and sees something in her eyes that prompts a fateful decision. He takes her with him as he flees to Galveston, an action as ill-advised as it is inescapable.
