Remember: the challenge here is "nonpolitical" at least by pretenses. I know that's a blurry line but try to stay within it in a way that both brunch liberals and chuds would agree is "nonpolitical."
Here's mine:
A grizzled ex-military veteran that has flashbacks to doing something presented as heroic but that also got him discharged for unfair reasons becomes a cop in the suburbs. He loves his wife and his kids very much in a vague stoic manly way, but they're getting increasingly distant with him. That all changes when they :us-foreign-policy: come over from wherever the veteran was stationed and get revenge on him by kidnapping and/or fridging...
I'm just writing a Taken sequel, aren't I? I give up. :sweat:
You basically described the plot for Commando? Except Arnold did nothing wrong, he just wanted to retire from the military to play in the pool with his daughter and hand-feed deer in the countryside. And if it hadn’t been for those meddling brown-skinned drug runners he wouldn’t have had to slaughter hundreds of them completely by himself, either!
You forgot eat ice cream!
