Please note:
This is part of my job to write loglines. However, that's not an art as easy to practice as arithmetics and like for screenplays, this is of great help to make them read by other people.
So as most of the members of Logline.It, I assume, I post loglines in order to get constructive feedback to improve my work.
I mean spontaneous feedback and exchanges of views, not scholastic feuds with self-appointed logline doctors. About the "How To" write loglines, there is a very good page where everything needed can be found: https://loglines.org/howto.
What interests me is also statistics: how many people read my loglines, how many give useful comments... which is a good barometer of how interesting they are/become.
So if your purpose is to give your spontaneous feedback, bad or good, about loglines that interest you, you're welcome. If your purpose is just to make yourself important, please pass your way: this just breaks statistics.

Hello,
I want to say first and foremost that I think that what you say make sense and I shouldn't use the world "honest" in this context (I'm not a native english speaker) - I'm trying to say something that -in my opinion- could help you see things differently, or not, and I will respect your opinion anyway.
When I read the logline of "it's a wonderful life", I expect some things that are impossible in the real world. I expect some magic.
When I read "3 hit man...", I do not. Maybe it's just me.
It's not really about the genre but about the mind setting of the reader... I imagine myslelf as a producer, or as an amateur screenwriter what I am), that must chose to download and read a screeplay or not- if I download "3 hit man..." because I want guns, killings and I don't like magic, time travelling or whatever, when I find?this in the script I stop reading, simply because It was not what I was looking for.
I used to work in a videoshop and clients were always disappointed when they found "impossible" things where they didn't expected. If I read?a logline for Always as a war movie, I'll be highly disappointed. I would be disapponted also if the logline treat it as a "philadelphia experiment" sci fi movie. I would be happy with a logline who stress the power of love and the magic of romance, so I know that the movie is not for me :)
In reading you plot, I though "wow, this is A LOT MORE than 3 hit mans, this is Takeshi Miike (watch Izo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izo), this is STRANGE", so I suggest you to include some of the madness of the movie in the logline - call it whatever you want but the reader should be warned in some way.
I hope this help somehow !
