Originally, this looked like a generic noir story, with the hardboiled detective and Femme Fatale, but after seeing the playful (and good!) title, it feels like this is a comedy? I’m liking it.
Whom are they fighting? A foeor eqch other?
This sounds similar to the Bourne movies.
I’m not sure if I would be rooting for a cop and a criminal to get out of the country alive unless one of them had a redeeming quality. Is there something else about the cop that makes him sympathetic? He’s “earnest” so he is trying to help the criminal??? What is it that makes the viewers want him to help her?
I suppose what I was hoping the audience would get on board with is the idea that love and family is more important than the letter of the law? Love is the thing that makes him help her. He helps her because his feelings for her become more important than his desire to progress in his career.
Would it help if I specified the criminal is not a murderer or anything – simply a thief? Criminals are redeemed in films all the time.
I think the “but” needs clarification to give the twist that is implied, eg something like:
“But when he aids her during a bust and they are forced to flee the country, the limits of love and loyalty will be tested”.
On her crime, the crime itself is not so much the issue as us being able to support her motivation – eg she is stealing so her dying relative can have a life saving operation or something….
After falling for a criminal, an unfulfilled undercover officer during a drug bust betrays his badge, switches sides, and fights to flee the country with her.
Just a thot…
