Taking on warring Texas drug cartels, a female Iraq war vet of color, a teenage hunk from the feed store, and a cattle dog, come to the aid of a neighbor who\'s son has been kidnapped.
GXavier- I searched for that logline, and couldn't find it anywhere. The one I wrote was actually taken from IMdb.

Whether or not it is the original or official logline, I cannot say, but whatever it was, it managed to get the film read and made. It may have also been adapted from a book; I don’t know. I’m confused about the “she fought the town and she won” line, because that was not in the movie I saw.

I offer logline assistance, and am proud to say that three clients of mine recently won a logline contest, largely based on that assistance.
If your original logline, or any variation, gets your script read, sold/optioned and produced, it is a great logline no matter what anybody says.

Actually my comment reads a bit stronger than I intended, as it was partially tongue-in-cheek, so no offense was meant. Sorry!
