I'm talking about that Iiam Nessan crap (schindler's list in case I spelled his name wrong).
Actually it's all about execution anyway. My favorite screenwriter is Charlie Kaufman and he executes the most ridiculous situations ever but he's a brilliant screenwriter, BEING JOHN MALKEOVICH, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF SPOTLESS MIND, SYNDECOCHE, NY, ETC.

That is why i mentioned it as a generalization. The fairy tale of snuff.
The 'Taken' storyline is definitely not a likely one either. There are just way too many bit players in any organized crime syndicate to be able to track down one specific guy in such a short period of time. I don't care how connected you are, that is like looking for a needle in a haystack. even if you know which city the girl was taken from and then taken to, we're talking about a city. Most people can't find their car in a mall parking lot, or their friends in a concert lineup.
I do actually like the snuff fairy tale as a story line though. I have a partially written story outline involving something along those lines, but I think it would be a very tough mainstream sell. I'm not sure how they managed to get 8mm on the big screens. heh
