Nice job getting all those pages and a story finished...now...I read the first 5 pags and it's all so boring. Given the title, I would expect some real action. One of the reasons for boring is you've overwritten. Your first 5 pages could have been condensed into one, or upon  reading further, I might have discovered they could be cut all together. I don't know.  What I do know is that your story won't get less boring. There is a post on the site called scriptease. It's a free ebook and I suggest you download it and read it.

My gut says you need to read more scripts (scripts of your genre made into movies) and then try an edit rewrite. After that get some pointers on how to cut the fat and show you how cutting the fat makes your story read better.

I scanned the middle and the end. Still boring. Way too much dialogue and the action writing is dull.

So like I said, go read some action scripts.

Read action scripts.

Here's to not line-outing one's own sentences!
