Script review - "Destroyer" by Matt Manfriedi and Phil Hay (warning: spoilers)

Great script which hasn't gotten the attention it deserved from critics - sparse, tight, yet rich, with a knock out central character but some nice support ones too like the super manipulative Silas (the villain) or the FBI agent who goes to Bible readings or the gang member trying to redeem himself with good legal work or the rich girl gone wrong.

I loved the structure which has a twist in that we're not investigating a murder, it's about seeing how the murder came about. Some great action sequences like two bank robberies, one which you know is going to end badly, the other which you're not sure.

Really great work.
