The summary is okay, but the ending should be darker. Bad guys going to jail is too cliche.

Depending on the length of the film and quality of the video, I might be interested in checking it out based on this description.

The trailer is the same you already asked for comments on, is it not? I already told you what I think you need to do to fix it.

i disagree

bad guys being caught .. instead of killed - thanks to the newfound mercy or proper sense of justice of the hero ...

only to have the bad guy get a hold of a gun before getting into the police car, about to shoot the hero in slow motion ...

only to be shot by the pacifist wife/girlfriend/daughter of the hero or one of the victims ...


thats the cliche.


it satisfies the righteous folks (the hero did the right thing - overcame his demons)

and it satisfies the blood thirsty revenge seekers who want to see some hard justice being served.


i dont think i've ever seen a bad guy actually go to jail in a movie like this.
