I agree with the previous reviewers that retrieving his memories cannot be the prime driver. I still think there is a good base there. Hunger Games, Running Man will be mentioned but the concept that the elite use a game to blind the population to the reality of their situation is not new. After allRead more

I still think there is a good base there. Hunger Games, Running Man will be mentioned but the concept that the elite use a game to blind the population to the reality of their situation is not new. After all Rome invented the Arena for that purpose. The expression “Panem and Circenses”?that in Latin literally means “bread and circuses” was used to describe the cynical formula used by Roman emperors for keeping the masses content with ample food and entertainment.
Personnally I would flip the script. He has his memories, he knows that he is innocent. In fact he volunteered for the show in order to prove that the game was rigged.
In that dystopian world, Big Brother AI records everything, but access to unaltered version of video surveillance is restricted by security level. Participants to the show are supposed to be chosen randomly. The game is run by that an AI, so it is allegedly incorruptible. However high level executives have found a way so enemies and social undesirable are more likely to be selected. In the game, each victory unlocks points and with the points participants can purchase physical reward (food, weapons, medical supplies, …) or increase their security level. In order to release the video that show the high level executives rigging the game, the?hero needs to survive and kill a lot of people.
In a dystopian world where victories in macabre TV reality show grant you Freedom, a principle man must kill his opponents to reveal how a mysterious cabal is staging a silent coup.

From your initial logline, I have inferred that the movie is an action movie rather than an introspective one room or psychological thriller.
Richiev is right, normally in that kind of movie the two protagonists are on a physical journey that mimic their personal journey. At the end they usually come to a new found respect or at least mutual understanding.
An action movie without the journey (gauntlet) unless the movie is a siege movie (instead of Assault on precinct 13 assault on suburban safe house), I can’t see how you are going to add tension.
From your initial description, I would imagine that the U.S. Marshallbe may have been affected by child molestation. Either directly as a victim or indirectly by being in contact with a victim (wife, brother best friend, daughter living step dad) or a perpetrator (dad, police partner, …).
if the movie is a confrontation between, the bad and the mob, then bad needs to get his comeuppance at the end. The vindictive boss is not really important for the grand scheme of things. He is just a plot device, So it does not need to be in the Logline.
When he is tasked to protect a repugnant child molester, a psychologically wounded U.S Marshall must ally with his charge to save themselves from a mob surrounding their suburban safe house with the intend of killing them all.
Child molestation is so gross that I am still wondering how you resolve that moral dilemma. I can only see working mutual respect if we finally discover the accused is innocent, or he did not know she/he was under age, or was genuinely in love (some US states have the Romeo and Juliet law to avoid 17 to 21 years sleeping with their 15 to 18 girlfriend/boyfriend be labelled paedophile for the rest of their life). But then it contradict your description of sadistic child molester. The other solution would be for the bad buy to get his comeuppance right at the end. Either be killed, or his escape attempt is thwarted.
