Overall, this is so passe. I mean, there are some funny parts and the writers seem to be decent, but it's just not that original. Reviewing these scripts, I'm expecting to find something really original. Something that isn't done twice a year in Hollywood.
The characters aren't cool, intelligent, witty or sophisticated. Clipping a few worthless distracting weird contrived scenes up to page 40 might work, but, when the urgency of finding Jessica is lost, and, of course, as others have mentioned, at page ~60 when suddenly ugly unworkable racist overtones came into play, I seriously question why anyone would want to help another person with such tone-deaf attitudes rewrite.
This is not personal, even what I take to be insensitive racist overtones - which others have noticed - can be overcome. Cliff can be a good writer. I hope he becomes one.

I just think this script is average, if that.
