"The greatest contributor to this screenplay’s enjoyabilty is perhaps its well-written dialogue, descriptions, and action sequences."
and from a different reader:
"Almost every page of this screenplay contains a new visual delight. The screen directions are clear and economical, painting word pictures of each scene without bogging the reader down in unnecessary details."
But, of course, the reason why this script will never win any prizes as it stands, because it is a first draft: "sometimes plot elements are unexplained or become confusing" and "your plot is too rambling and lacks cohesion – plot elements crop up, seem important, and then are discarded". From the same two readers - but essentially saying the same thing.
The details may be fine, but the big picture is flawed.
Doesn't matter how good a first draft you write: It's not finished. Writing is rewriting.
