男主代表的是自由意识的觉醒，犯法或者成为社会毒瘤不在他考虑范围之内。他不是无政府主义也不是反社会分子，他是一个天才，一个窥到了社会漏洞和人性贪念的傻瓜，也许刚开始他只是觉得自己可以成就一番事业，解放人心中的欲望，人可以在没有规则没有限制的网络里实现自我需求，逐渐的事情超出掌控，绝对的自由带来了绝对的权利，这是对正常社会秩序和法制体系的无情挑战，触犯了当权者的利益链，注定会受到围剿和清算。再高

当我看到男主需要在油管上搜怎么用tor的时候我笑了。

当我看到男主在FBI查上来的时候在SO上面搜IP的东西，我笑出腹肌。

但是我觉得我好没用，ctf玩了一堆，干出的事情不及别人一个脚指头。虽然他出的是恶名，但是也算是出名了。（好吧我有一个一般智慧的雏形，但是我迟早会把荣誉让给比我聪明

The novelty of bitcoin and the dark web facilitated a new drug market and allowed smart internet-savvy citizens the chance to procure hard-to-find drugs. Telling such story about its inventor proved to be a challenge, one of which is the moral issue. This movie is more tan that. Jason Clarke brings his A-game while Nick Robinson fills in the gaps as cop and criminal, respectively. While the movie certainly looks like it’s made on a shoestring budget, the two leads propel much of its force making it at least entertaining if not educational.

Ross Ulbricht (Robinson), a directionless libertarian has an idea: what if you could buy and sell drugs over the internet just as easily as an Amazon purchase? Confound the War on Drugs by taking it all online where the government’s burgeoning cyber crimes division was woefully unprepared. One the other sides Rick Bowden (Jason Clarke), a DEA agent was sent to finish his career behind a desk after life undercover in the narcotics world. Bowden can barely type on a keyboard and his technical ineptitude makes him a liability for the cyber crimes division, but his street work brought him an advantage to solve Silk Road case. As the website grows in popularity the danger grows as well, both men cut away their families and friends when their obsession over the dark web drug trade grows. Both make awful decisions and both circle each other, cop and criminal, looking for a way out.

The film goes on at a decent clip, driving the story with few resting points. From the outside looking in, the movie feels like a cheap rush of crime thriller for the twenty-first century. The murder-for-hire and police interrogations feel particularly low stakes in the grand scheme of things and a simple moral decay on both ends carries only so much gravitas. I liked it, but this movie had no right to be as good as I found it to be.
