When his son is taken by a monster into another dimension, a withdrawn divorcee must venture through the portal to bring him back.
Ever see House (1985) starring William Katt?? Because this idea is very similar.

A talented con-man goes to duplicitous extremes to cover up his murder of a millionaire playboy he was tasked with convincing to return home.
If he's a con-man, I don't think 'duplicitous' is particularly necessary.

When abducted because of his secret, a clumsy teenager with acidic semen must save himself and a porn actress from the set and crew of a deranged snuff film director.
The funniest thing about this is "withdrawn". HA. Puns.

When a lab experiment goes horribly wrong, a clumsy scientist and his two pretty female assistants become the first highly intelligent zombies. Not willing to share their newly found powers with the knowledge hungry human elite that forcefully tries to get bitten, they barricade themselves in their research facility trying to find a cure for their own uncontrollable hunger and bad looks, before turning on themselves. But cure or no cure ? they still have to find a way out!
The thing is none of that is really important to a logline - you just need a hero, an incident and a goal, everything else goes into the story.

A cold and withdrawn assassin, who uses her apocalyptic visions of the future to hunt targets in the present before they become a threat, finds herself hunted by a deadly, yet emotionally unstable, foe, and, in her bid to survive, she uncovers a future she never could have foreseen.
Psychic assassin would do. "in the present" is unnecessary. ?Since it's an enemy, the assumption would be they mean to do the hero harm, so "deadly" is unnecessary. "uncovers a future she never could have foreseen" is too wordy and…

Survivors of the premature reformation of the supercontinent Pangaea tell their stories of the days after the disaster.
This would make an interesting anthology movie, like Twilight Zone: The Movie. Three stories about people who are linked in some way and their interaction telling a "fourth" story that encompasses the whole, like Pulp Fiction.

Might need to add a B story here, like some important reason for not selling the bar. I mean, imagine if they took out the discovery of the treasure map from The Goonies... that's kind of what you have here…

To solve the puzzle of her family disappearance, a fraud investigator must find out the truth about her father who masterminded an international criminal heist
I don't know if anybody has said this, but the biggest 'elephant' in your logline is your insistence in including the location. Take it out, it's not important to the story at all. And stretching it out to 'fit together…
