A headstrong and impulsive youth steals £230 million of mob funds and stays one step ahead of the top mob enforcer until he decides to donate it to a charitable cause.
"headstrong and impulsive youth" = protagonist "steals £230 million of mob funds" = inciting incident "donates it to a charitable cause" = inciting incident "stays one step ahead of the top mob enforcer" = main character goal Great logline.

“headstrong and impulsive youth” = protagonist
“steals £230 million of mob funds” = inciting incident
“donates it to a charitable cause” = inciting incident
“stays one step ahead of the top mob enforcer” = main character goal
Great logline. Has a heist film meets thriller feel to it.
‘Impulsive character steals large sum of money from bad guys’ seems to indicate that the character arc might be from Impulsive -> through to -> Considered, as a main character trait transformation. In a strange way, donating a large sum of stolen money to a charitable cause, also seems (to me anyhow) a bit impulsive too. A Charity is best to accept ‘clean money’, and while donating has thoughtful and considered qualities, our said character hasn’t really thought things through.
How then might our unpredictable character find himself in a stop and think situation? And I guess the answer is when the bad guys catch him. Makes me think of ‘A Clockwork Orange (1971)’, where an overly confident character eventually finds himself in a torturous, and institutional situation. Wonder if this logline might benefit from more detail on the nature of the main character’s problem and its potential for transformation.

This is what I can glean: A blood-soaked young amnesiac is rescued from the peak of a mountain by a backwoods Maine homesteader. As you can see – interesting characters, but there’s a “thriller” gap. Now, if the homesteader was missing his wife and found this blood-soaked girl… Hope you find this coRead more

See lessMadrid, 2008. A cynical and disbelieving journalist of events, travels to Paris to investigate the death of the African model Katoucha Samrawitt, defender of the end of the ablation in her continent and related to certain political spheres. Determined to decipher if the death was a suicide, as the official version maintains, or a murder, he will have to face those who do not want the truth to come out.
“A cynical journalist investigating the presumed suicide of a top African model must [GOAL]” I am unable to envision why the model was killed, who the baddies are, and what the shocking truth will look like on-screen. Hope you find this constructive, keep going.
