Finished this script by Anthony Jaswinski.
As in TRANSATLANTIK, the script just strains credibility to the point where you just want to chuck it in the trash. Here, a high-school student is forced to assassinate a Senator that comes to visit the school on his campaign to become President.
You would think that the security for a Presidential-Hopeful would be intense. Not at all here. The assassination attempt is easy. The kid is sitting in the front. When the Senator goes to shake his hand, the kid will shoot him three times in the head with a gun that has managed to make it through security.
It's ridiculous. An example of this is when the lead gets attacked by a fellow student wielding....a candy cane!
Again though, Jaswinski can write. His pages fly by. His stories are the problem. They're too simplistic. Too connect-the-dots-type of writing.
Pass on this script but I'm still not ready to pass on Jaswinski. With his style, he'll always have a chance.
