Mean Dreams Trailer

Nathan Morlando‘s Mean Dreams (2016) movie trailer stars Sophie Nélisse, Josh Wiggins, Bill Paxton, Colm Feore, and Vickie Papavs. Mean Dreams‘ plot synopsis: “The life of teenaged Jonas Ford (Josh Wiggins) is dominated by his father’s struggle to keep the family farm afloat and his mother’s ongoing battle with severe depression. When Casey Caraway moves in a few miles down the road, the two click immediately.

But while most parents would be happy to see their children find this kind of relationship, Jonas’ father sees Casey as someone who distracts Jonas from his duties, while Casey’s father, Wayne (Bill Paxton), an alcoholic prone to explosive and sometimes violent outbursts, sees Jonas as competition. Making things worse is the fact that Wayne is the town’s new deputy, and the sheriff considers domestic abuse to be a household matter. With nowhere to turn, the young lovers are soon faced with an impossible decision.”

Bill Paxton looks gleefully intense and twisted in Mean Dreams. Paxton was one of the best parts of Edge of Tomorrow but his roles in Frailty, Mean Dreams, and the TV adaptation of Training Day are where his acting chops really seem to shine.

Bill Paxton is the monster in the room in Mean Dreams yet he acts in public as an upstanding citizen, in this case an law enforcement officer.
