New writer interested in feedback on this work, please be nice
Dear Amisrael, maybe the opening sounds are the car traveling and the muffled gunshot from within. Engine races, tires squeal - ( my first thought was that the gunshot was external) Jon's description as a professor is enough here as it delays the action. You could close on his keys/pressure point device here (rather than you do later, P7) The College lecture hall scene P11 is becoming a bit of a sermon - I can see why you need it but cut into three scenes with the Ukrainians mobsters. Andrey P14 is the classic villain telling the kid (by exposition) exactly what his plan is !! Have to close at P20 but this is spinning up very nicely. Trim some of the dialogue - all best --
