Silk Road

A passable cybercrime thriller...kind of manages to be interesting, though the invented stuff feels VERY invented...

Robinson gives a suitably nervy and understated performance as the anti-hero you wish you could root for.

The game of cat-and-mouse is diverting enough...

Perhaps millennials have taken the excitement out of organised crime. You won't find much in this movie.

Silk Road is not without its pleasures - Clarke especially is fun to watch as he gets increasingly cornered with his shakedown shenanigans - just don't expect the kush; this is strictly schwag.

"Silk Road" manages to tell a compelling story thanks to the two leads.

Silk Road plays more like a run-of-the-mill thriller than anything else.

Suffice it to say, it may not shock or fascinate like a documentary would've been able to, yet it manages to remain grounded, believable and engaging for the entire two hour run-time.

The film wants us to see a complicated world filled with bad actors with some good tendencies but none of these characters are interesting enough to justify whatever thematic commentary is provided.

...nothing but a bad trip.
