Would've been better if everyone wasn't a "nitwit"

You really have to suspend disbelief if you are to enjoy this film... there was just too much idiocy in this film to make it enjoyable.

It starts off with the "fantastic" prison sequence (typical of Neil Jordan's work)... but quickly spirals into a mediocre comedy picture where everyone is "clueless"... I won't get into specifics but anyone who has seen this film knows what I mean...

Neil Jordan has done many excellent films... but this ranks with "The Good Thief" and "High Spirits" as one of the worst... "In Dreams" is certainly his worst.

Yeah this movie had a great cast but it was just horribly unbelievable. Like when Penn and DeNiro start running down the bridge directly away from the police, how do the police not realize that these two idiots are obviously the escaped convicts?
