Shadow Trade
TIME WAITS FOR ONE MAN. - When a computer technician uncovers a secret operation to fund the Military Industrial Complex by manipulating the world's financial system, he must convince the C.I.A assassin on his tail to help bring the men responsible to justice.
This is a great action/thriller premise that really delivers on its conceit. The story is jam-packed with action but also has a great topical aspect to it (because of the financial system aspect) that feels very current and relevant.
"This script is a great high concept genre piece with an instant built-in core audience as well as a strong hook that is easy to articulate. Fans of the Bond movies, the Bourne trilogy, or any serious action/thriller will have no trouble latching onto this story and finding something to like about the concept.
