    A hardened hitman is haunted by the ghost of one of his targets, an undercover cop, who compels him to hunt down the men who doubled-crossed them both and kidnapped the deceased cop's estranged daughter.

    I quite like the idea here, but a lot depends on the tone - I'd hope it doesn't take itself too seriously, but this is quite a 'heavy' logline.

    I quite like the idea here, but a lot depends on the tone – I’d hope it doesn’t take itself too seriously, but this is quite a ‘heavy’ logline.

    I also think ‘hunt down’ and ‘kidnapped’ are covering the same ground – the cop basically wants his daughter rescued, so you could maybe tighten it along these lines:

    “A hardened hitman is haunted by the ghost of one of his targets, an undercover cop, who needs the hitman’s help to rescue his daughter from the men who doubled-crossed them both.”

    Hey Swede,

    My issue here is the disconnect between a system that shuts down wars, and the idea of Armageddon: I don’t know if you mean the real Biblical Armageddon (which is implied by the phrase ‘battle of’), or WW4 (and why didn’t the scientist include an ‘off’ switch 🙂

    I quite like the idea of it being the literal Armageddon – otherwise you have to wonder why what worked for WW3, won’t work again for WW4. So with that said, here’s my reworked version:

    “A self aware satellite forces the end of World War III, but the scientist who designed it realizes he must find a way to shut the system down before it triggers the prophecies of the End Times.”
