Hey Variable, please make sure you post the logline in the right field.
I fixed it this time. You had the title in the logline field, and vice versa. 🙂
>>>a stooge decides to change his ways in the middle of a robbery
How exactly?? What becomes his objective goal as a result?
>>>only to realize it?s not gonna be easy.
The plot is like a poker game where the ante keeps escalating. where other players keeps raising the stakes so that the protagonist has to push more and more chips into the pot in order to stay in the game.
IOW: it goes without saying that the struggle always turns out to be harder than the protagonist initially imagines.? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a story worth telling or watching.
So it doesn’t need to be said in a logline.
fwiw
Also I suggest the protagonist needs a compelling motive for having participated in the robbery in the first place.? (As in the classic heist-gone-wrong film “Dog Day Afternoon”.? The Al Pacino character wants the money so his male lover can undergo a sex change operation.? ?The movie was based on an actual bank robbery gone wrong and very conflicted main character, btw.)
IOW:? create a dilemma between what he wants (money) and what he needs (ethics).
fwiw
