"A smooth, fast-paced, entertaining story with enough twists and turns to keep die-hard mystery fans happy. The structure of the story is quite ingenious."

"...very good forward momentum... I particularly admire the succinct action descriptions... which had a Hemingway feel to them... expertly presented."

"In all I found the work to be a quick and enjoyable read... the many twists did tie the story together. I did get good visual images of the characters and settings. I liked the misdirection... Something like "The Usual Suspects" meets "Psycho."

"I loved, loved, loved your work. The plot twists were brilliantly unpredictable, the characters were fascinating, and the action was great. I love the level of tension that you managed to inject into the card scene, and the film as a whole, kept my pulse pounding from page one until the end. You have great things in store for you. If you can get somebody to read it, I have no problem believing that you would be able to pick up a purchase".

"This is a movie I'd pay to see. The screenplay is well structured and paced... interesting to the end... an intriguing story with an aura of menace... Good stuff. The main characters are well drawn. The dialogue was good... Action scenes worked well... I liked it a lot."

(-Zoetrope Virtual Studio)

"...a smart thriller with some pretty good twists at the end."

(-Daybreak Productions Executive)

"The narrative is very descriptive, yet the writer wisely keeps it concise. Each scene is extremely vivid... The scenes are well constructed individually, with a good balance of action and character development. The dialogue is realistic, and the characters in the script convey a large amount of creepiness via their dialogue. It is obvious that most of the characters in the script have ulterior motives, and the dialogue reflects this without giving away any surprises. There is an overall tone of suspicion and uncertainty throughout the screenplay, which keeps the reader guessing regarding the characters and plot twists. The writer does a great job of making the reader think one thing will happen, then turning the notion upside down. The writer creates suspenseful, original scenes as well as many plot twists in the story. The motivations behind some of the characters are good surprises. The screenplay is marketable for its suspense; films such as this usually attract large audiences."
