When he finds a cowardly family-man accidentally locked in their 9-way assassin?s battle royale to win a contract paying enough to retire with, a moral veteran must keep him alive whilst eliminating the competition.
Thumbs up - can see how suggestions helped. Had the "Ah, I get it now" moment. So protagonist is the Assassin - much cooler! And cowardly/accountant/family-guy is the Victim and Boon (prize)... motivating primary character action during oppositional battle royale conflict. Any psychological dimensioRead more

Any psychological dimension to our assassin? No one’s perfect, we all have our faults. Maybe if he is a venten, then he has some unresolved past … Could help character be more likeable.

I don't think the logline is quite right, but I love the concept. I could see that being a solid low-budget creature feature. Perhaps: When environmental activists raid a chemical testing lab to free the imprisoned animals, they find something far worse locked in the cages.

Paul Clarke:
You raised an interesting point.? Yes, it’s a great twist for Max, the taxi driver, to discover that Annie, the attorney he flirted with, is on the hit list.
But…
With one exception, the general rule is that the logline focuses on events up to the transition into Act 2.? That is, the events that can quickly hook an audience’s interest.? In this age of multitasking minds, when people have so many options for entertainment so many distractions, I think it’s accurate to say that it’s more imperative than ever that a film quickly grab and hold attention.? Before something else does.
The exception is that sometimes (space permitting) it’s good to include the MPR (Midpoint Reversal), when it entails? a cool twist that “sweetens” the initial hook.
However, Max doesn’t discover Annie is on the hit list until 94 minutes into the film.? That’s f-a-r too late to qualify as the MPR.? Indeed, the discovery can be said to be the inciting incident of the last act.
