I'm getting a damaged PDF here as well? But at least in the PDF title you spelled 'Vengeance' correctly.

Dustin,

First thing that caught my eye was the formatting. Get some formatting software (like Celtx or Trelby, both free). It'll make life easier.

Your opening V.O. is pretty cheesy, to be honest.

Typos throughout...

Improper character intros. When you mention "The Soldiers" for the first time, you need to write it in all caps.

Avoid camera directions. Just write action as it happens.

Some unfilmables... you say Cody has seen at least four battles, but there's no way of knowing this in if we're watching it on screen.

Some passive verbiage here and there. "Cody is talking" would be "Cody talks", for example. Keep it active.

I'm going to be honest here, this is in pretty rough shape. I'm not entirely sure you're even around to hear my notes, so I'll stop here until you do show up.

Sorry to be harsh... fix the formatting and take my notes into consideration, and keep at it. Hope this helps.

Will

Cheers for the fix.

Yeah - not a regular here, so I'm not going to read to far into this.

In brief - what crookedowl said. There's lot of issues here, and if your around they can be fixed.
