Accuracy of Book Profile
It is accurate, but the protagonist is just Daniel's character. The story is all based on his life, his choices, his past. The others work as supporting characters for him.
Draw of Story
The beginning in which Daniel tells about his past relationships shrouded in bullying attracts us right away.
Possible Drawbacks
The story begins with a bullying children/teen drama and then morphs into something quite different. The story could have a smoother transition between the two stories.
Use of Special Effects
THE STORY RELIES A LITTLE BIT ON SPECIAL EFFECTS
Primary Hook of Story
The hook is the return of those big gangsters to life. This interaction that these historical gangsters would have with the protagonist.
Fanbase Potential
Fans of famous gangsters and action movies of this type may be interested in the story.
Awards Potential
It depends on how this interaction between famous gangsters is portrayed on screen. As these are well-known figures, a good representation of them would be crucial. In that case, it would have a greater opportunity to win awards.
Envisioned Budget
MEDIUM BUDGET

What’s New About the Story
The rebirth of famous gangsters is quite original.
Lead Characters
Daniel is a little boy who learns to keep his frustrations to himself and who ends up becoming an almost "bad" person because of that, joining gangs and hurting a woman he likes. He himself is a more complex protagonist, who while being an apparently bad person, shows a human side of feeling and guilt. The other characters could be better constructed. We know little about the sidekick of Daniel, Pheobe, and the other characters. A little more development would make the actions more understandable.
Uniqueness of Story
It's not a rare gem because it lacks a greater cut in terms of structure and development, but the serum that resuscitates big gangsters turns out to be original.

Analyst Recommendation
WORK IN PROGRESS
Justification
It's a work in progress because it has good ideas, a dialogue that can be improved, but at the same time carries style and tone on its lines. It is possible to understand the author's style, and what he expects from his work with this script. However, the execution is still a bit crude. Both in terms of formatting and narrative, the final product would need further development work to achieve a more satisfying and attractive result to fans of the sub-genre.
Tips for Improvement
The characters could be better developed. We know more about the protagonist Daniel, but we know little about the others. John Zao is a kind of sidekick that doesn't show much of his intentions, desires, fears. He doesn't show off much and doesn't have a very clear role beyond his friendship with Daniel. Phoebe has an inner conflict of importance to the protagonist, but we also know little about her. It would be interesting to develop each of them a little more so that the whole story could make more sense. Speaking of sense, it would be great if the transformation from the boy who is bullied to the guy who is a member of a gang was smoother, more coherent. It's understandable that bullying changed Daniel's behavior, but the change from a quiet boy who handles everything in silence to a boy who participates in crimes seems to be a little abrupt. The plot where Daniel brings famous gangsters back to life is quite interesting, despite the nonsense side of its execution. However, it would be interesting to explain a little more here. Why does this serum exist, and why is it basically used to resurrect gangsters? These are questions that do not need to be fully answered, but the complete absence of answers can limit the audience's understanding a little.
