Screenwriting : Three of a kind by Scott Phillips

Scott Phillips

Three of a kind

Three neurotic hitmen, each with a troubled past, are secretly hired to assassinate one another as their final job reveals only one will survive.

Molly Peck

Hey Scott, don't forget to post this on your profile so you can get feedback!

Bill Albert

Nice work.

Scott Phillips

Thanks!

Scott Phillips

Thanks Mason! I threw some commas in there for you.

Doug Nelson

Don't know what your intent is but it sounds like a good comedic romp to me.

Daniel Stuelpnagel

To me with respect it feels egregiously 20th-century.

What about three enthusiastic life-coaches who are promised enlightenment by a voluptuous yoga goddess if they can counsel each other to only be vegan, but they all love sushi and they're organic farmers who are social influencers?

Scott Phillips

That does sound funny Daniel lol. Egregiously so.

Bob Johnson

Kind of a last man standing story? What happens if there's a survivor? Or is that the twist?

Daniel Stuelpnagel

Scott Phillips that's what's up bro, I appreciate you and those ideas are yours for free lol

Jay Johnson

Men not man, I think.

Scott Phillips

Jay spotted it. I’m liking Stage32 thanks!

Craig D Griffiths

Just a suggestion.

I would drop the troubled past. It is implied in a way. That gives you a little more room for a story element.

Craig D Griffiths

This may not be your story.

Upon learning they have been sent to kill each other three hitmen decide to take revenge on their old boss and slip off into retirement but their replacements are more ruthless than imagined.

Ewan Dunbar

Good set-up but finish with a taster of how it all unravels. Nice work.

Scott Phillips

Thanks Bob and Ewan. I added a little dash of seasoning at the end there.

Lindbergh Hollingsworth

Hi Scott, I DM'd you ...

Kiril Maksimoski

Spot on, Scott...I'd like to read that...

Wal Friman

A bit tighter perhaps.

A hitman on his final job finds out that three assassins have been put up against each other, while their bosses bet big against him they accordingly serve the opponents with huge advantages.
