"Badlands" is atmospheric and unpredictable. The gritty side of the story is hard to take at times. Murder upon murder are depicted onscreen. But director Terence Malick's filmmaking is always imaginative. What might be an everyday story of two young lovers on the run from the law is instead here a tone poem, vast and mutable as the horizon.
