Verdict on Dreamland
Dreamland is an adventure western following a young man who helps an outlaw woman escape after her latest crime. However, the longer they spend together the more he wants to help out as he starts to fall in love with her.
This is a slow-moving movie that shows us an unexpected love story between a police officer’s son and an outlaw. The idea they team up to find safety is everything we have seen before, except for the reversal of roles. However, nothing involved in the movie seems to do too much to make this enjoyable or standout in anyway.
Final Thoughts –Dreamland is a slow-moving western adventure love story.
