Well, not a fountain. On this topic, it was possible to shoot deeper and more interesting.
A pro hacker in a hoodie against an old school cop and cyber cops. Darknet, silk road sales $14-15 million/year. It’s already worth watching
The film is not very cinematic, but also documentary editing techniques from the 00s – they drive the last nail into the coffin of the visual part. Better watch Fincher
Cool movie, worth watching. Don’t listen to me or the film critics, just watch and don’t worry. Peace be with you.
A terribly underrated adaptation of a real, interesting story about an Internet scam and a guy who wanted to change the world. The film is shot unexpectedly well – the shooting is pleasant, the actors play confidently, good music complements the atmosphere. It is really interesting to watch, you don’t get distracted.
In spirit it resembles "The Social Network", only a little simpler, but for its budget it is really worthy. Cons? Perhaps the lack of famous actors and a weak budget. The Russian title "Antisocial Network" is unfortunate – in the original the film is called "Silk Road", and this is much more accurate. But here is a question for the localizers.
Without embellishment: the film is worth watching and deserves a rating much higher than it is given.
Rating: 8.6/10
