On the verge of striking it rich
an intergalactic diamond huntress
is summoned to earth for compulsory breeding,
but she is kidnapped by a ruthless space pirate en-route
and must fight for her freedom to make it home
before she is sentenced to death.
In order to make her goal clearer - what exactly is 'home'? Where, if she was kidnapped simply 'en-route' to Earth, will she be safe from the kidnappers? Sounds like an exciting story otherwise, good work!

One thing that might need clarifying is, what are the stakes? What happens if he fails as a father/providing for his daughter? Will he lose her to the wife?

When the president fails to take his daughter camping during his reelection campaign, she must outsmart his security staff and kidnap him, or risk losing him to the job for another four years. //Anya
A fantastic idea, you describe what she must do; Both journey wise and in the situation and i can clearly see the moive 5/5 in my opinion but it is quiet big. Might wanna try and shorten it with something…

A brilliant Russian Cadet shortly after his graduation day is being targeted by the CIA, his respond was a personal travel to NYC to change all well-known war tactics with the help of his genius weapons.
You might have a good story going, I don't know, cause even with the explanation in your comment, I still find it a bit confusing. I don't wanna repeat the other comments, but I do suggest that shorten it down…

When Ed tries to commit suicide a mysterious stranger shows up and offers him a deal he cannot refuse and when Ed break the deal he has to battle not just himself but other more dark forces as well.

Maybe it's just me, but I find it a bit unclear exactly what Ed's goal is and what the stakes are, considering he started on the verge of suicide (how much worse could it get?). I assume the story will…

When a teenager and his best friend get drawn into a video game, his friend is taken by the game?s antagonist, and now he needs to – not only save his friend – but find a way to get them both back to reality./Kalle
Not at all what I was thinking actually, but now when you've said it, I see that the logline suggests a similar movie. /Kalle

Thanks for the suggestions! The reason I picked lawyer was that I felt I could come up with a work related reason for him to go to hell, and that I need him to be fairly clever, and therefore picked…

The death of their child prompts a grieving couple to perform a ritual that brings her back to life, but a violation of the ritual?s rules has horrific consequences for the couples friends and family.
You've got something here. But so far it's a tagline, not a logline. What you're missing is the action. Check out this blueprint: "When [event] happens, [the main character] must [do main action]". You've got the event; the ressurection gone…

This, is not a logline. This is the text crawling at the opening of the movie. You know, like Star Wars. A logline is, in essence, a short summary of the film. What you've got here is all backstory. Boil…

When a suitcase full of 'dirty money' falls from a balcony along with a Japanese businessman, a penniless young Londoner steals the case, a Yakuza enforcer is sent to track him down and an epic battle begins on the streets of East London.
While I like the idea and setting you need to streamline your logline here. There are simply to many words. The essence, all you need, is "when an event happens, the Main Character must do X". "When a penniless young…
