This is a lean, fun, and engaging screenplay that definitely carries with it the potential to be adapted into a feature film. The premise is simple and straightforward while still containing plenty of twists and turns to keep an audience guessing until the final few scenes. The characters are made likable and sympathetic from the opening pages and display a strong sense of camaraderies and, perhaps most importantly, the tension and the suspense come from a place of grounded realism. For the most part this writer demonstrates that he or she possesses the skill-set necessary to craft a successful genre film. The fundamentals of screenplay writing are solid and make for a lightning fast read from beginning to end.
