About this movie

Debt Collector and sometime-killer Roy (Ben Foster) senses that his boss, a dangerous, violent and pitiless loan-shark, wants him dead, and his next routine assignment is indeed a death-trap. Yet what the would-be killers do to Roy is not the same as what he does to them…after a smoking spasm of violence, they are mostly dead and he is just about alive. Before making his getaway, Roy discovers young prostitute Rocky (Elle Fanning) hiding in the back room, and he sees something in her frightened, defiant eyes that prompts a fateful decision. He takes her with him as he flees New Orleans to Galveston—an action as ill-advised as it is inescapable. Rocky is too young, too tough, too sexy – and far too much trouble, especially when she makes a detour to liberate her 3 year old sister from the clutches of their seedy step-father. Like the smoke dancing upwards from a barrel of a gun, there’s no way things are going to end well.

Ratings and reviews

I would definately recommend this movie, both Ben Foster ( one of the best actors around these days) and Elle Fanning do a great job with their roles. It's a stark movie, but very engrossing, kept my interest from start to finish. Roy Cady and Rocky are an interesting pair, both have sad histories and when their paths cross they are in dangerous circumstances. The ensuing story and the interaction between them is gripping. The sacrifices they both make, are what makes them human and vulnerable, and raises them above their dire circumstances ...hers, for love, and his because there is a decent guy lurking underneath his rough exterior and gruff manner. LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! Go see it.

a reasonable movie not worth the price maybe a 2 dollar movie

Where's the revenge ?
