I'm never sure how long a treatment should be or in how much detail, so from time I'm going to do a post about treatments. There really isn't much to say about this treatment.
First and foremost it's 8 pages long. As far as I can tell this on the short side. It's organized in sections.
The first section is called "Overview" - this section basically sets out the basic premise of the story and sets out the genres the story will involve.
The next section is "Character Set Up" - This isn't unseen backstory, but the facts that happen before the story really begins (i.e. how they met, they lie about their jobs as assassins, etc).
Next is "Story" - That's pretty self explanatory. It's sets the story out pretty well, but it's vague enough to allow for massaging during the writing process. There are changes from this treatment to the actual movie. All the major plot points are here, as well as flourishes to give the reader a sense of the tone of the story.
