Paths that should have parted years ago and the secrets which drive us apart.
Mike, Chris, Bobby, and Joe are life-long friends out for a rowdy good time that goes horribly wrong. They commit a random act of violence, savagely beating a young man. The film begins with the boys cruising to their favorite spot in the park to lay-low and blow off steam. The beating is a non-issue until cell phones start ringing and they learn that their young victim has died from his injuries. What was a random act of violence gone wrong soon pulls many factions they dread into the arena. Their friendship is pushed to the brink, the group buckles and strains under the darkest aspects of their personalities, and an earthshaking revelation might finally break them.

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.
