When a cash-hungry escort driver gets wind of an easy score, his life becomes ever more obscure the deeper he commits to it and the people involved.

thank you both for the input on this. I'm gonna put it on the shelf until I can delve a little deeper into the concept.

What does "turns problematic" mean?? What's the visual on that? And as a result, what must he do -- what become his specific objective goal?? The logline is still vague

"realizes his dark and sinful connection to the victim?".? A logline is not about what a character comes to realize.? It's what a character must do as a result of that realization.? ?So, when he comes to this realization, what MUST he do?? Again, what becomes his objective goal? Be specific.

Would it work better to just knock off the first sentence?

'A simple robbery turns problematic for a cash-hungry escort driver who soon realizes his dark and sinful connection to the victim'

Again, I don't think the inciting incident is when he assembles his crew - this is not what kick starts the story. The inciting incident is the moment he recognises his connection to the victim because that's what the story is about. I think the fact that he's assembled a team of people is actually kind of irrelevant to the story (with the info we've been given).

I would probably lean toward my second entry in the last post, however, change 'recognizes' for 'soon realizes'

apologies, I was using the word obscured in the wrong context. My intention with it was to show that the robbery had become problematic, the wrong choice of word.

"After a cash-hungry escort driver assembles a team of amateurs for an easy score, what should have been a?simple robbery becomes a dilemma once he realizes his own depraved connection to the victim'

'Having assembled a crew of amateur thieves for an easy score, a simple robbery becomes problematic for a cash-hungry?escort driver who recognizes his own dark and sinful connection to the victim'

After recognising the victim of a simple robbery he's hired for, an unlucky get-away driver...

I would attempt to finish this off but I still have no idea what actually happens next.

When a cash-hungry driver gets wind of an easy score, a simple robbery becomes hidden, unclear, veiled, cloaked, by his unwitting connection to the victim.

As mikepedley 85 said.? Think visually.? "Simple robbery becomes obscured" is.... obscure.? What does it mean?? What does it look like?? ?No visual comes to my mind. And a logline should evoke a visual in the mind of a logline reader.? The visual may not be the one you have in mind; what matters is that it is a visual that? motivates the logline reader to want to read the script.

Right now, my mind is drawing a blank -- not a visual.? I have no idea what the plot is.
