When their last mission fails, three neurotic hit-men from three different times and civilizations are separately enlisted by a highly secretive organization to assassinate each other.

Hello,
a logline should be a honest description of he whole movie, and its genre should be clear.
Roger Avary’s logline (meant to be a blueprint to stimulate writers to write some pages of a script), if it was a logline for a actual script he intended to write, couldn’t be a science fiction movie. If it was scifi a good logline would mention some details that make it clear. In the context of the contest I think it’s ok to do everything that respect the pillars of Avary’s logline.
I think thant “log – line” is meant to be a “line” (one sentence) who helps to “log” in a movie. A logline for a movie already done, like loglines in tvmagazines has a different purpose than a logline for a spec script, which is different from a logline for a script who is not yet written, which is different from a logline created for a writing contest to help writers to log in. This website focus on the second and the third type of logline, and the first type in the ‘classics’ section. I personally don’t mind to comment on any kind of loglines but the comments would be different according to the purpose of the logline.

Hello, try to focus on the whole movie not only on the initial situation or the inciting event. It's a starting point, now think about where the story goes... what happens?

Hello,
true, one of the most common problems in loglines is that they are not specific enough.
I think this could be?a step in the process of writing a logline, to start with a vague structure, then fill it with details that make sense.
As a step in a process, I find it not bad.
I want to say also that it’s easier to detect problems in someone else’s logline than in your own. It happens to me to feel like I wrote a killer logline, then I read the critics and I say “how didn’t?I see this myself!?”.
Under dramatic circumstances -> to be specified
young woman -> the description of the main character is too vague
hostility -> to be specified
the trauma -> to be specified
for ten years -> in my opinion this is a useless detail… why not 15 years, or 5 years? This would not affect the story in a meaningful way.
the path toward the life she seeks -> too vague. If I must pick the lowest point of this logline, it would be this one, because this is a readymade sentence, I feel like I read it already.
