I would agree not ever movie logline needs a “must do” however in this case, the set up is, he discovers the woman of his dreams is a zombie, so the story is what he’ill do about it.
For instance in your example of “For a good time call” the setup is they can’t afford the rent, what they do is establish a phone sex business. So it has the setup and what they must do to over come the setup.
On the other hand, since nothing really happens in the movie, “Lost in translation,” you probably wouldn’t have a “Must do” in that logline.

So I would agree, not ever logline needs a “Must do” but if you can put one in your logline it will help clarify the story.

It would help the logline immensely if you let us know what it is he must do once he discovers the woman of his dreams is a zombie.

"After he discovers the woman of his dream is a zombie, a lonely gambler must decide how much he wants that nookie..." Alright, that was bad, I'll go back to the drawing board...
