Idea 1: A cop kills an armed bomber and rescues the president but not without tragedy, a man is accidentally killed who works a low-end job, as reward the cop receives instant extended leave and a promotion- whilst on his leave, he notices everyone congratulates him on rescuing the president but completely disregards the innocent man struck in the line of fire and it starts to bother him, soon it manifests into a crazed rage by the constant belittlement of the departed through saying he was a nobody, insignificant, a peasant compared to the president etc. and climaxes with someone being killed. Mental deterioration is the main display here, think Taxi Driver as that's where I got most of my inspiration/influence from (GOAT FILM).
Idea 2: A cop kills an armed bomber and rescues the president but not without tragedy, a friend of the cop who happens to be an officer is accidentally killed, as reward the cop receives instant extended leave. On his leave, he watches the recorded footage of the rescue countless times and catches some details which reveal the bombing as a hoax and a way of garnering sympathy votes for reelection. Ads are shown of the President cowering in his home scared which touch the viewers and further so, get them to vote for him, the cop realizes this and is determined to reveal it to the world and have the President pay for what he's done. Think Manchurian Candidate for this one, underrated film.
Which idea? and Thanks.
