Description

Overall, this script has all the necessary elements for a compelling movie. This colorful and complex character has not been dramatized yet and seems like a character perfect for a cinematic adaptation. The research is top notch, the writer clearly knows this period and has done his homework on the subject matter. The attention to detail gives the script an air of authenticity.

However, the script would benefit from more dramatic tension. As of now the plot largely plays out as a straightforward biopic but Ruffin needs a more convincing character arc in order to engage an audience. His mission and goals are clear but we need to see more of the emotional journey that he takes along the way. Steps should be taken to expand the story beyond the historical facts and show us why this story and this character should still resonate with us today.
