Clean

Nothing new: repentant assassin lives a simple life and gets affectioned to a young girl in a poor neighborhood. When she faces danger, he appeals to his skills.

It could've been better if was shorter. It has a slow rythm until the action begins.

Brody is fine. I don't mind the clichè story.

Not a bad movie. Not great either. Generic storyline, basic plot. Good acting, pacing and music make it enjoyable. I wouldn't go in expecting too much. It's a 6/10. Would have been a 5 without the music. The girl actor is good too.

We watched it so you don't have to.

Agree with other reviewers , the first half is decent enough. Has a bit of story & acting good, but the second has the script /action scenes of a BMovie & you can foresee the events in every detail very easily.

Do something else with your time.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the extremely negative reviews for this movie, nor the extremely positive. Clean isn't that bad, nor is it an Oscar winning movie. It is entertaining though, and that's what it's all about for me. The story is well told, even though I think the flashbacks the main character has could have been done better. It's rather slow paced in the first half but towards the end it's all getting more interesting with some good action scenes. Adrien Brody is always convincing when he's playing his characters and in Clean he did a good job again. This role fitted him well. The rest of the cast was also convincing so I really don't get what people disliked about it. It's not a movie for everyone, you just need to like that kind of stories, crime/dramas turning into violence, and that's fine by me.

I enjoyed this movie inspite of the first 50 mins being a bit slow but ther is solid character development n top notch performance.

The movie has a very dark, grimy n surrealistic feeling.

Brody looked believable as a man seeking redemption.

Havin njoyed the director's earlier movie Bullet Head, i was looking forward to this.

The last 40 mins is filled with brutal action scenes.

While watching the movie, i kept looking at my Pipe Wrench/Stillson Wrench which I use for tightening dumbbells' nuts.

Fans of Merantau, Leon : The Professional, The Man from Nowhere, The Equalizer, John Wick, Nobody, Man on Fire, A Bittersweet Life, No Tears for the Dead, Statham's Safe, etc will definitely enjoy this.
