Re: ?
Doesn't come down to identifying that special 'ethos' that compels you to keep reading? I don't mind a steady build if I can vest myself in a character. Training day is a damn good script, but we see Ethan Hawke's home life before we go on the roller coaster. By Koj' standards, he would have flipped it across the room, but missed some fantatstic pages. Conversly, Long kiss goodnight starts out with a bang and fizzles because of character.
I always appreciate a script that moves against the grain and delivers a punch or immediately vests me in a character.
Can you make a reader care about your protagonist in ten pages? In most cases, that's what i'm shooting for. Who wants to pick up transparent, soggy breadcrumbs?
