Your script was very easy to read. It kept my attention throughout. The script painted good visual pictures in my mind as I read.
Some will say don't use camara direction in your script. I don't know. If you are trying to write this as if you were filming it yourself then I guess it works. If you are simply writing this on spec for someone else... I would leave out the direction.
As I read I was kept interested even though the story kind of smacked of similar stories. It was well written but left me with a little bit of a ho - hum attitude about the piece.
