Galveston - Vingança e Redenção

Um criminoso e uma prostituta, ambos bastante desesperados, aproximam-se enquanto fogem de gangsters/da lei, e acontece quase exatamente como seria de esperar. Um tema frequente nas mãos duma dupla de atores diferente do da última vez e do da penúltima. E o final sentimental não lhe faz bem. [Sitges FF] (07/10/2018)

Galveston is a very dull and tiring drama about an outlaw who receives a fatal diagnosis and decides to spend his few remaining weeks protecting a prostitute, both being in the local mafia boss’s sight (a true waste of Beau Bridges’ potential). The synopsis sounds interesting, but all that follows is just slow and never-ending rambling about life in damnation without any deeper digging into the topic nor – God forbid! – any answers. Ben Foster gives a solid performance, though I found Elle Fanning was not fit for her role – the two lack any chemistry between them. And the ending was maybe targeting the viewer’s emotions, but it left me totally cold. [Sitges 2018] (07/10/2018)
