"Mean Dreams" follows courageous local farm boy Jonas (Josh Wiggins) and the new girl next door, Casey (Sophie Nélisse), as they embark on a journey that will change their lives forever. As young love blossoms between the two fifteen year olds, Jonas also discovers that Casey's abusive home life has reached a new level of danger, and Jonas takes the lead in their escape by stealing a bag full of drug money from Casey's corrupt father - local cop Wayne Caraway (Bill Paxton). With the stolen cash as their only means to a better life, Casey flees with Jonas and together, under relentless pursuit from her father, they learn the hard truth of what it will take in order to survive. In the end, Casey and Jonas are forced to make a life-altering choice from which there will be no turning back. A potent coming of age thriller, "Mean Dreams" brings together the desperation of life on the run and the beauty and wonder of first love.

Even if it were not for the fact that Mean Dreams has become Bill Paxton's penultimate picture, Nathan Morlando’s thriller would be worth recommending entirely on its own merits.

Nathan Morlando’s Mean Dreams may use a time-honored premise — young lovers on the lam (see: “Badlands”) — but it does so with such quiet, gently appealing assurance that it makes the template seem fresh again.

The shadow of 'Badlands' falls a little too long over Nathan Morlando's initially promising but fatally derivative teens-on-the-run thriller.

The setting for rural thriller “Mean Dreams” is a quiet slice of America, where a young woman named Casey (Sophie Nelisse) says with all earnestness, “It’s always been my dream to see the ocean one day.”
