Silk Road Reviews
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...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2021
Perhaps millennials have taken the excitement out of organised crime. You won't find much in this movie.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 16, 2021
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.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 25, 2021
Yes, this is going to be two hours of listening to the philosophizing of a libertarian edgelord whose actions on those beliefs landed him in the slammer for life.

This is a smart movie about smart people doing some not-smart things and facing the consequences that keeps us absorbed.
| Original Score: B+ | Feb 22, 2021
The Social Network redrawn in weed and wispy start-up beards.
| Original Score: C+ | Feb 20, 2021
Jason Clarke knocks it out of the park in the kind of role he was born to play - that of the troubled, streetwise DEA agent Rick Bowden.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 20, 2021
Silk Road can see through the justifications of one criminal actor in this story, but the movie almost seems to be making its own excuses for the other.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 19, 2021
A fervently topical, at times intriguing, but ultimately rather sketchy drama...

"Silk Road" leads nowhere.
| Original Score: D | Feb 19, 2021
"Silk Road" remains watchable because both Robinson and Clarke are interesting screen presences. And there's some humor, which consistently lands better than the thrills.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 18, 2021
In many respects, "Silk Road" is an excellent examination of why you should probably never date, or maybe even socialize with, a libertarian. It comes up short in almost every other way, though.
