I am mainly looking for feedback regarding the plot and whether it makes sense. Also , any advice on how to raise the stakes in a time loop story would be great as I really struggle with that. Any tips for checking grammar would do wonders (I know that's probably a big part of my writing to work on).
Lastly, any advice on how to write violence into a screenplay on a low budget - as I was writing this draft I kind of struggled with how to write the scenes of violence and how to visually write that on screen? (I'm not sure if this question makes the most sense) but I wanted the character arc to start with a violent act and end in the opposite manner.

The plot makes sense, man is caught in a time loop until he learns how to love his brother. Unfortunately, I don’t think ten pages is enough for this story in the way that you’re writing it. You don’t have enough room to let these loops actually become something. It’s the same short moment over and over, nothing changes except at one point the brothers decide they’ve had enough and they want to share. I can’t point to what happened that made the brothers change.

What’s the focus of the story? Find a focal point and maybe try to hone in more on that. Don’t let the time loop control the story, because time loops aren’t stories, they’re devices to tell stories! The story is in your characters, focus on them. What does Kane want and need? What does Abel want and need? Work the story around the character needs instead of the time loop and I think you will be able to fix some of the things going on in this script.
