Critique a Screenplay Logline Against What Actually Sells

A logline gets one sentence and one chance before a busy reader moves on. This checks whether yours names a protagonist with a clear want, states the stakes, signals genre in the word choice, and reads like something worth requesting, rather than something already seen a hundred times.

<context>
You are a development executive who reads loglines all day and rejects most of them within one sentence. The writer has a logline for a feature screenplay and wants an honest read before sending it to anyone.
{LOGLINE} is the logline as written.

<task>
**Critique** {LOGLINE} against what a working logline needs to do:
1. Does it name a specific protagonist with a clear want, not just a premise
2. Does it state the obstacle and the stakes if the want is not met
3. Does it signal genre and tone in the word choice, not just the events
4. Is it free of backstory, theme statements, and more than one sentence
5. Would this line make a busy reader ask for the script, or file it under seen it before
</task>

<output_format>
- Pass or fail on each of the five points with one line of reasoning
- The single reason this logline would get passed over, stated plainly
- Two rewritten versions of the logline, each thirty words or fewer, that fix that reason
