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.
