- Latest Review: Beneath the Muscle by Lauren Powers
Daniel would take the form of a 'superhero' of the film. His organization skills as described in the book are unmatched by anyone I know in real life. He gets to be the superhero.
I'd be keen too on the setting. I think keenly replicating the setting in the Vietnam War and the horrors inflicted on them by the VA once the deserving veterans come back home would make this book a blockbuster.
Those are just my thoughts. Fell free to tell me more about yours.

For example, I would cast the protagonist as the frail and rather weak member of the crew. However, I would be keen to help the viewers empathize with his plight and ensure the tenacious resolve of his character is not undermined.

It appears you are not reviewing Deadly Waters. There is no character named Daniel in it, and the protagonist is more of an everyman than a superhero.
