The other day I saw Black Mass, back in the day when I worked in the legal system in Mass.  Mr. B. was the most noted king pin.  Does Johnny Depp give a great performance?

Well as noted in my book character within the screenplay.

You need to think about a character before you create the protagonist.

Here there was no protagonist development.  The other secondary characters were sucked in.

In my current, book Siolam.

The protagonist must learn when to kill and not to kill.

In Black Mass, the protagonist never learns not to kill.
