Solitude and violence in the daily life of two men in Mexico City: Efraín, a violent ex-cop turned hit man, faces an existential crisis when he is given his next target: a seemingly harmless family man; Efraín will have to confront the decisions that have led him there, his loneliness and the threats of violence that he will come if he does not carry out the job. Elsewhere in the city, David, a man affected by a recent tragedy in his life, decides to cope with the solitary routine of pain by shutting himself up at home, until little by little he begins to descend into the despair of alcohol and the escapism that the window of his room gives him towards the outside world.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
