Having a story with "a ton of potential" is awesome. Without that, you have nothing.

Some of these issues are easily resolved - getting rid of the direction, lens indications, and blocking are simply a habit to break. And as far as the epilogue is concerned, I suggest that you figure out what is in that that might best be included in the actual screenplay. For the rest, you'll have to hope that a audience that appreciates the movie will be motivated to do some research on their own.

In terms of time frame, I recommend doing a thorough outline before you write the next draft. That will help you to pin down what's missing and fix it early in the process.

Good luck with the next draft!

I will change the format, syntax, and other errors to make this movie script a movie

I think the logline gives away the ending, I'd suggest not including that he died, gives us something to hold onto for the next 90 minutes. Are these readers notes? Do you have the screenplay to share?

This movie script has just been publicized on the blacklist website. Many readers haven't seen it. It's just a professional writer who has evaluated my work, and more follow-up evaluations are still going on

Logline
The true life story of Lt Col Arnaud Beltrame, a hero policeman who saved multiple lives by sacrificing his own during the November 2015 Paris attacks.

Strengths
This is an exciting slice of historic true crime, ripe for cinematic adaptation. The premise alone gives this script some truly strong potential. Beginning the story with Beltrame's childhood gives the narrative a broader sense of scope and resonance, creating more of an empathetic bond between the reader and this man's life in the process, although additionally exploring his military service could also add some additional depth to this element. Overall, the writer seems to have mined the real life timeline of events for a truly compelling angle on tragedy. With some additionally deep and thoughtful work, this script could eventually go on to become a sturdy film.

Weaknesses
That said, the script is quite flawed. And although much of this may be due to errors in translation, the script is itself rife with typos, as well as formatting and structural issues. Particularly blatant, is the use past as opposed to present tense, but there is also a lot of awkward dialogue, strange phrasings, numerous redundancies in the blocking, and odd paragraph breaks, sometime mid-sentence. There's also an issue of too much directing in the script, such as moments where the writer denotes when the lenses should change. Additionally, there is some major clarity issues, making the time-frame very confusing. For instance, at the beginning of the script, Beltrame is a boy at a funeral, who goes to middle school, then high school, then he tries to get a job at a grocery store. But, in the next scene he's putting on a police uniform, with no clear transition denoted. Ignoring these structural issue, there's still a serious lack of character depth or development within the script, making the writing feel cold and clinical, like a bare-bones blueprint as opposed to a screenplay. The blocking is also too explicitly detailed, seeming to describe every character motion. The expanded epilogue scrolls of dates and facts, are far too long and too inactive to make for a satisfying curtain to this sad true life tale.

Prospects:
Although the premise is strong, and the angle of the story has a ton of potential, the script itself will need a lot of work if it is to eventually meet industry standards.

Sequels??? LOL. I think you may be a dreamer. Where is script #1? Why are you talking sequel already? Why would you sacrifice your first story for sequels when there is no funding/guarantee for sequels? Maybe one and done. Maybe none at all! Get writing sir! Stop dreaming and put pen to paper.

It has been written and is being publicized on other websites.

However, there are format errors, syntax errors and so on in the script, which need to be modified

我认为记录线会留下结局，我建议不要包括他的死在内，在接下来的90分钟内给我们一些帮助。这些读者在注意吗？您有分享的剧本吗？
