It plays like a lad-mag fantasy of counterterrorist work, juxtaposing mediocre action sscenes with a lot of deadly serious Islamist rhetoric.March 15, 2012
A slick action drama with a strong cast, including Tuppence Middleton, Charlotte Rampling and Michelle Ryan, that delivers in terms of violence, gunplay and conspiracy thrills.August 23, 2012
The film certainly has ambition and there are some memorable fight scenes, but it also lacks the extra oomph that could have done for Bean's action-movie career what Taken did for Liam Neeson's.March 08, 2012
Cleanskin has Charlotte Rampling dying, spiritually at least, on a bench. It can be contagious.March 09, 2012
You couldn't ever accuse Hadi Hajaig's film of being one-sided: it has two, both of them stupid.March 09, 2012
As a rather far-fetched work of faction, Cleanskin left me feeling rather grubby about the world that we live in - and not entertained.March 06, 2012
Plodding, somewhat misbegotten, and never slick enough to sweep us along.March 08, 2012
As if we don't have enough gullible folk believing 7/7 and 9/11 conspiracy theories already, this poor thriller comes along to popularise the paranoia.September 10, 2012
There's a lovely frisson between Bean and Rampling that makes you think what James Bond and M could be.August 23, 2012
It's perhaps one credibility-straining twist too many for the film, which up until then does a solid job of aping slicker, bigger-budgeted Hollywood thrillers.August 23, 2012
The ambition is laudable even if the execution isn't as smooth or detailed as it might have been.March 11, 2012
It's a competent, conventional thriller, but there's something suspiciously unbalanced going on here.
