The Plot…

Roy (Foster) is having a bad day.  He just learned he has terminal lung cancer.  Plus the local crime boss, Stan (Bridges), that he used to work for stole his woman.  That’s bad enough, but then Stan tried to have Roy whacked.  Now Roy is on the run with a young female escort that he just met.  Roy wants revenge, before his time runs out.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Galveston has an interesting set up and an excellent cast.  I was on board for the first two thirds of the movie.  Unfortunately, it lost me in the final act.  Your mileage may differ.

Galveston (2018) rates 2 of 5 stars.
