When a troubled American expatriate is offered work at the Tengen Hotel, he soon discovers that Tokyo’s most exclusive hotel is also the base of operations for a major crime syndicate. Now embroiled in their conspiracy to appropriate control over the city, the expatriate must choose between duty or sentiment as both his mettle and loyalty are put to the test.
What Richiev said. The logline needs to be more specific on the plot points. I've read of the term diaspora referring to other groups dispersed from their homeland for one reason or another, but rarely to American citizens. I believe the more common term for Americans living abroad is expatriate.

I take the fly-on-the-wall via a stolen camera as a framing device for the story. And as a camera buff myself who litters Flickr by the megapixel, I'm intrigued by the dramatic possibilities of that device. But not yet hooked.

But not yet hooked.
What will hook my attention, make me want to read the script, watch the movie is a sense of the plot that unfolds through that framing device. As a result of stealing the camera, what plot unfolds? “Tensions…implosion…” don’t give me a clear cut idea of what that the plot is.
So you’ve got me interested. Now I suggest you zoom in, focus, give me a snapshot of the plot.

She must use her new found abilities to save herself and everything and everyone she loves.
I would like to suggest that one solution to this logine is: think franchise. It seems to me there is not only way too much detail in the logline, there is also too much incident, too much story to cram into one 2 hour movie. So why not break it out into several movies?

In the first movie, establish central conceit, the story hook: a young woman is compelled to be a galactic mule/host for an alien species. Develop the plot, end the movie on a cliffhanger beat — that’s what George Lucas did when he conceived the Star Wars franchise.
