Curtis I read seventy pages of your script and skimmed the remainder. I hate to see someone post and not get any responses. I know myself it is very discouraging.

   The story is pretty standard, just what one might expect of these types of stories. Your formatting is good with a few exceptions. Your dialogue is average, could be a lot better, but couldn't all of us write better dialogue.

   The script drags on for much longer than needed in my opinion. I know it is hard to trim and cut scenes but I think you could cut this down under a hundred pages without much problem.

   Overall I thought it was good. Action was good. Plot was average. I like these types of scripts and I think the public likes these types of movies. I wish you luck.  Marvin.

I thought it was good, great introduction, the voice over was a great idea and the conclusion caught me by surprise, however, the fact that the protagonist betrays the Don disturbs me a little, since I was hooting for him, and Paulie's motivation to backstab his family did not see sufficient.
