Two teenagers buy marijuana, and fall into a world of violence and corruption they didn't think existed.
Two young men of privilege, Ricardo and Alain, take Ricardo's father's Audi into a rough part of Mexico City to buy drugs. Their purchase complete, they are pulled over by four men with badges who take them to a deserted park and demand money. A long afternoon leads well into night: the kidnappers' demands change, Alain is sent to find money, Ricardo is told that Alain is dead, and a police car appears and brings hope. Who are the kidnappers, and how will this play out?

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
