An awkward 16-year old, who discovers that she has developed super-strength, must harness and control her new power while evading a covert agency eager to exploit her.
Also like it. Great logline, gives me a clear idea of the protagonist, inciting incident and the antagonist. One thing. Is the girl's goal just to harness and control her new power? Or is there something else that she's going to use the power for? eg. save the world, become school president, find heRead more

See lessOne thing. Is the girl’s goal just to harness and control her new power? Or is there something else that she’s going to use the power for?
eg. save the world, become school president, find her missing parents, win the soccer world cup….(you get the idea!)
If you do have a wider goal for her, I think you should include it in the logline.
A family living in Hawaii unravels from alcoholism exposing Hawaii's underside
Concept full of drama but it sounds like a documentary logline rather than a feature. Who's the main character/protagonist? Even if it's an ensemble piece, I think you need to be specific about the lead role. Alcoholism is causing the family to unravel. Who is the alcoholic? Are they all alcoholics?Read more

See lessAlcoholism is causing the family to unravel. Who is the alcoholic? Are they all alcoholics? What about the alcoholism is causing them to unravel? Are the parents breaking up? Are the kids drinking and skipping school? Are the kids going to be taken off the parents? So many possibilities and I guess you know the specifics as you’ve already written the screenplay. I think you need to include some those specifics so it’s clear what the main conflict is in the story. For example, is it a conflict within the family, or external against some outside force, like social services?
One more thing. The first half of the logline states that ‘a family living in Hawaii unravels from alcoholism’. I think that this implies that the story will be exposing Hawaii’s underside without you having to include that fact in the logline, giving you room to include other key details.
Devon Howard has built the best police force in the history of New York City. Now they’re turning on him. Will Howard win the war on crime and lose the troops?
I'm assuming that Devon Howard is chief of police (like the character name btw, not sure needed in logline though). I'm fascinated by the concept. Needs more information to grab me though. Left with lots of questions. Why is he losing the troops? Some indiscretion on his part? Corruption, adultery??Read more

Left with lots of questions. Why is he losing the troops? Some indiscretion on his part? Corruption, adultery?? Agree with Karel that you need to state a specific aim rather than just winning the war on crime, which doesn’t really mean anything and isn’t plausible.
See lessOverall, v interesting concept, needs more specifics.
