The story of Nathan "Nate" Vaughan, an ex-SAS commando fighter married to Nicole, a police officer with the Gulf Coast drug squad. Shortly after their wedding and in the midst of their plans to open a private security firm, Nicole is tragically killed in a seemingly senseless shooting by a drug craze kid in a convenience store hold up. Nate falls to pieces. His only friend is Nicole's ex-police partner and they decide to pursue their own form of justice on the streets low life. The death of a rapist/murderer leads to Nate being pursued by both the criminal boss and the police, which leads to twists and turns and the discovery of his wife's assassination... and bringing the killers to justice.
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.
