I read the first 10 pages. Formatting is spot on. Good job.

I think the "2006" should get dropped from the action line at the start. If you want to tell us it's 2006, you should use a SUPER.

There are 3 action paragraphs in a row that start with "The eagle", then the same thing happens again on another page "The eagle". I don't like how it looks visually on the page and how it reads. In my opinion you can word those scenes better and shorter. I get what you're trying to do with it but I think it takes too much space.

Writing is good. Dialogue is good.

The start of the story didn't grab me but from those pages it looks like a competent script. Good job.
