Blank Bullet by Barry John Terblanche - Short, Action - Sometimes a blank bullet can do more damage than a live bullet. A mass murderer is about to find this out.. The hard way! 12 pages - pdf format
We told not to "DIRECT" in script writing.. In this one I saw no other means to indicate / give a visual to a scene. [NO SOUND - TOTAL SILENCE] You'll see what I mean in the read.
Should I remove this?

Your writing has definitely got clean. It is now easier to understand and grasp what's going on, but still needs some more work.
As for the story, it is pretty nice. Not to mention you tried to play with the emotional side of characters, which is good.
Quoted Text
DAVID YES! They the ones that killed your family. One or more of the around one million U.S Soldiers. Fuck, why not bomb the American embassy here in Iran?
This dialog is pretty harsh. Maybe you were going with it in that way.
The ending could have been a bit longer, filled with some more action. But nonetheless, I think you wanted it to calm and kinda preachy, given the fact that the man shoots himself outta guilt.
Thanks for the read.. and nice comment on my story.
Strange you say the ending should have gone on longer.. It did actually in my first write. But it seemed to OVER-KILL the point I was driving to - Emotionally destroy Arash.
Again, than you for your input.

By longer ending, I meant that since your script is under the banner of action/adventure board, I expected to see some gunfight or chase sequence or hand to hand combat or something along those lines.
Something that is an adrenaline boost. That's all.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with how you did it here... as long as it's clear. Personally, I would just imply it in the narrative/action or indicate it via a mini slug or a combination of the two. Just my thoughts.
Thank you for advise and link.. Was kind of you to take the trouble.
I learnt something new - MOS!

Due to WT... No new script posting. I thought I'd bring this script of mine back-up for review / comments from any that have not - would like too. THANKS
