      I believe this idea has real promise although it wouldn’t be they typical A to B to C type movie and that makes the logline a little bit harder to achieve.

      How about this:
      —–
      “A grieving husband strikes an unlikely friendship with the man who killed his wife when he visits the prison in order to discover why the crime was committed.”
      —–
      Hope that helped, good luck with this!

      Second attempt:

      “On a quest for closure, a grieving husband strikes an unlikely friendship with the man who killed his wife when he visits the prison to discover the motive behind the crime.”

      Hi You two,

      Richiev loglines are better.

      I think this story would be darker if the murderer was not in prison. It could take a depth worthy of Orson Welles.

      “On a quest for closure, a grieving husband strikes an unlikely friendship with his wife’s murderer to discover the motive behind the crime.”

      Great point Jean-Marie, If he wasn’t in prison there would always be that constant sense of danger. I agree.

      The logline defines the man as “grieving”. So, is it the case that widower unwittingly finds comfort and solace when he strikes up a friendship with a man who happens to be the murderer?

      Or is the widower working out his grief by hunting down the murderer? And he does that by striking up a friendship with the man he suspects to be the murderer in order to gain the evidence to bring him to justice?
