Duane:

You can't do this:


Quoted Text
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.
