The Take Over by Duane Kinnard - Action, Adventure - A Special Operations Ranger is summoned into action when a senators daughter is kidnaped from the city of Chicago by foreign mafia. 120 pages - pdf format
Intro - LUKE DALTON The Take Over is a Military Ops Specialist that is called on to do special operations jobs for the United States. He's a hard ass, somewhat of a drinker. He goes through life on an up and downward spiral thinking about his best friend, that died on a day that he was standing guard in the Gulf War. He feels he's the blame and puts himself through turmoil. He survives through his work.
Everything in a script must be seen (action) or heard (dialogue). Your telling - which is a no no. i.e., there is no way to film that Luke is a Special Ops Agent or a bad ass.
Same issue here:
Quoted Text
The bartender knows Luke and knows that he is going through another moment of feeling guilt. Luke grappling his drink with both hands. He's a little hung over.
