Jack M 03/23/2024 Ok so where to start is the most difficult. I was aware of the Silk Road when it was happening 10 or so years ago. Earlier this year I came across a podcast which stirred my interest in the subject again. Since that I have listened to many podcasts and have recently just completed the book American Kingpin by Nick Bolton. This is a fantastic listen and if you have the slightest bit of Interest in the Silk Road then it is a must read or listen. Because of the amount of material I had consumed up to that point I made a point of holding off watching this film to see what they did with it. What a huge let down! In all the different sources of media while reading about this since January the story, overall is quite consistent and is very intriguing. This film has taken what could have been a very good movie and made a complete mess of the story. Nothing short of a mess and if you know nothing about Silk Road and come to this movie first then it's an injustice to the actual story which is fascinating. If you are reading this and want to know more about the subject and haven't watched the movie ….. Don't. In every source for the story there is one guy who goes by the title of VJ and his influence on DPR is significant with so may aspects of Silk Road but he is not even mentioned in the movie. I am assuming that this is a legal issue but without him it weakens an already poor telling of the story. All in all a vey poor movie on the subject if like me you know the full story. They could have done so much more with this but have failed in every aspect.

See more Wolfgang G 07/17/2022 Silk Road – Gebieter des Darknets (Originaltitel: Silk Road) ist ein Thriller von Tiller Russell, der auch das Drehbuch schrieb… Der junge, ehrgeizige Unternehmer Ross Ulbricht gründet eine anonyme und unregulierte Darknet-Website, die sich schnell zum illegalen Marktplatz für Drogen entwickelt… Wenn ich den Film sehe, fällt mir „The Social Network" mit Jesse Eisenberg ein... In „Silk Road – Gebieter des Darknets" geht es um Ross Ulbricht und um seine Geschichte, die etwas langatmig ist. Gutes Drehbuch und Regie Tiller Russell. Die beiden Hautdarsteller Jason Clarke und Nick Robinson haben mit ihrer Katz und Maus Spiel eine gute Leistung abgegeben… See more 06/23/2022 The abuse of prescription drugs is raging across the globe.... Mass murder by Big Pharma and law enforcement turning a blind eye... Film doesn't do any justice.... Maybe it will open some eyes to some that don't understand how serious this genocide is..

Everything is done so much on the cheap that an interesting and cool story is turned into something annoying right from the start. 4/10 points. See more torin f @nonlinearize 04/06/2022 A decently-factual if somewhat flat dramatization that will likely seem rather lifeless to those who haven't read the article on which it's based. Read the Rolling Stone article (and the excellent longform "Untold Story" piece in Wired) first, then watch the movie as enjoyable visual accompaniment to this wild tale. See more Read all reviews
