Mean Dreams (2016)
6/10
Trapped by the land
17 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Police officer Wayne Caraway (Bill Paxton) and his daughter Casey (Sophie Nélisse) move into a farm house. She quickly makes friends with Jonas Ford (Josh Wiggins) a neighboring farm. We quickly get some background material as we discover Wayne is not an honest cop and beats his daughter. Jonas attempts to rescue Casey and is nearly killed. Eventually the two come across Wayne's money stash and run off with everyone looking for the under aged couple.

This appears on the surface to be a coming of age story. While loved is involved in the tale, it is more of a crime/chase/thriller easy on the thrills. It is Canadian made who tend to water down their films unlike their American counterparts who love sex, nudity and violence.

Guide: An F-word or two. No sex or nudity.
