Jason Clarke and Nick Robinson in Silk Road (2021)
Inspired by larger-than-life actual events, this riveting crime thriller follows the rise and fall of Silk Road, the infamous darknet site that sent a seismic shock through the World Wide Web. Young, idealistic, and driven to succeed, Ross Ulbricht (Nick Robinson) creates the internet’s first unregulated marketplace: Silk Road. But when it becomes a multimillion-dollar pipeline for illicit drugs, Ross is set on a collision course with Rick Bowden (Jason Clarke), a disreputable and dangerously unpredictable DEA agent, who will use any means necessary to take him down.

    Just your typical...
    ....low buck, hastily put together B movie before a higher budget, a-list actor version comes out one day that will make this a distant memory. Wait for the real one. This? Boring, slow and spoon fed, yawn.
