Clean - Rache ist ein schmutziges Geschäft

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.

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.

I must admit that I was actually looking forward to getting to watch the 2021 action crime drama "Clean" from writers Paul Solet and Adrien Brody. Why? Well, because the movie starred Adrien Brody, and he is usually always good in movies.

However, I have to admit that "Clean" was somewhat of a mediocre movie. The storyline, while it was indeed adequate enough, just hadn't enough leverage or punch to make it stand out among countless other action crime movies. So yeah, "Clean" was somewhat of a mediocre movie experience. Watchable, for sure, but a rather monotonous and bland movie actually.

First of all, the majority of the music in the movie was just not interesting at all, and actually was somewhat of a deterring factor for me, as I just absolutely loathe that particular genre of music.

The characters in the movie were lacking depths. They simply came off as being way too superficial, and the audience never really get to delve into the movie and the characters as needed, because the layering of the narrative was lacking majorly.

The acting performances in "Clean" were okay, taking into consideration that the script wasn't particularly thrilling or entertaining. And truth be told, then "Clean" is far from being up to the usual performance that you would get from Adrien Brody.

"Clean" is good enough for a single viewing, but that is essentially also all it has to offer. It is a very forgettable movie actually, and I doubt that come next week then I will still be recalling this movie.

My rating of "Clean" lands on a very bland five out of ten stars.

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.

A really entertaining movie.

AB is simply impressive in the titular role and carries some proper brooding throughout the movie.

The movie strips all the wow factor from the action/violence, making its use much more effective and captivating.

Top fun :)
