Galveston

Galveston (2018) is a bleak crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, starring Ben Foster and Elle Fanning. Roy is hired muscle who's just been set up to die. Slipping away from his old boss's gunmen, he takes along Rocky — a young woman he had every reason to leave behind.

Two strangers drive for the Texas coast and a sun-bleached motel town called Galveston. Roy is hiding a diagnosis and a debt that will catch up with him. Rocky carries a little sister, a buried past, and a habit of lying. Foster plays a man stripped of any illusions; Fanning plays a girl clawing for a life. What's between them isn't romance — it's heavier and more honest than that.

This one marks a directing turn for actress Mélanie Laurent, working from a novel by Nic Pizzolatto, the mind behind True Detective. Don't expect shootouts: it's slow, scorched Southern noir about two doomed people pretending, for a few days, to be okay. If you love that grim Gulf-coast prose, it lands.
