A digital invisibility cloak

A quick-tempered old-school narcotics cop Rick Bowden is transferred into a cyber crime unit for bad behaviour and he's up against geeks like Ross Ulbricht who eat megabites and nerd shit for breakfast. Ross Ulbricht uses the internet as an instrument of liberty and establishes a drug superstore in dark web where you can anonymously buy and sell anything, something like an Ebay for illegal drugs. At first, Rick Bowden has hard time adapting to the cyber crime unit. He may be old and slow, but he ain't stupid. He tracks down Ulbricht and just may crack the case the old-fashioned way. Silk Road got lots of negative feedback, but against common opinion, I found nothing wrong with the movie. Jason Clark, Nick Robinson, Darrell Britt-Gibson and Elexandra Shipp were amazing in the lead. Directed by Tiller Russell (Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer).

That kid ain't a killer

A hitchhiker leaves quite a many dead people in his wake. A young man escapes the clutches of him and is subsequently stalked by the fucker....
