Finished this script by Grant Myers.
Story's DIE HARD with the lead wearing the exoskeleton suits from G.I. JOE. A wounded ex-soldier-turned-security guard with a limp is the last line of defense against an extreme unit that has taken control over a government-run, defense building that houses the military's next generation of weapons.
Might've been a good script. The germ of an idea is there. However, it's poorly executed by Myers. A definite pass on him as a writer. Pages are full of descriptive paragraphs. Tries to explain every single punch between the characters.
If you're going to write an action film, you need to have great character development to set your screenplay above a hack script. Myers has no character development whatsoever. It's just a videogame with a bunch of weapons to use.
The weapons are neat but without characters to truly care for, the script quickly turns tedious.
Page one rewrite is called for with a new writer.
