Iraq war vet Calvin (Cordell Al-Ruh) returns home to fight his resentful ex for visitation rights to their 9-year-old son. A hard-won day of father-son bonding at a quiet fishing spot is transformed into an action-packed nightmare when the boy’s backpack unknowingly becomes the repository for a disc belonging to corporate hackers on the run. A crew of hired assassins is unleashed and the frightened boy experiences a new side of his dad as the two run for their lives through the deep woods. Shot entirely in Chicago. (Gene Siskel Film Center)
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.
