When a nasty policeman tries to end the life of a journalist using all means of soft torture, the latter fights him back until the policeman dies with hard death.

>>>until the policeman dies with hard death.

That seems to give away the ending.? Something a logline should never do.? A logline raises a dramatic question -- but it doesn't reveal the answer.

And? what is "soft torture"?

Avoid needless words and don't tell us the ending.

A [PERSONALITY ADJECTIVE] journalist must escape from the basement of a sadistic policeman, who intends to torture him to death.
