[A] Taxi Driver wannabe. It’s not even close, obviously, to the Scorsese classic, but it’s perfectly serviceable entertainment with a moody, brooding heart.

Rated: 3/5

Our hero barely says much at all, leaving it to Brody to do a lot of acting with those big sad eyes. It makes the film feel a bit like a silent movie but not one of the good ones.

Rated: 2/5

Every great actor wants his chance to be Clint Eastwood...Sadly, these stark textures never redeem the film's tired savior narrative, which would-be poignant moments gesture towards inverting...

Clean is something you will definitely have a lot of fun with. This is a very dark film and at times it can down right tragic where the narrative flowers, but I do think its worth watching for stunts, choreography, intensity and acting from Brody sells it

Rated: 7.5/10

Clean waffles between being a conventional action film like Death Wish (1974) and Scorsese's social parable [Taxi Driver, 1976]. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10

Shadows on the Wall

The plot simply follows the same trajectory as every other redemption-revenge movie, which may be fine for casual viewers. But anyone wanting something pointed or meaningful will be disappointed.

Rated: 2.5/5

This movie is a must watch! Nothing like your typical gang/violence movie. This movie places you in each scene as if it you are there, no added visuals or sound effect, just raw real life sounds. A little slow in the beginning but it draws you in, and makes you want to pay attention ti the full story, not just the action.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Secretive guy with a past trying to blend in forced to come out of retirement due to circumstance beyond his control to exact revenge a cliche. This one drags on for over half the movie before becoming too hyperbolically dystopian on every level. Everything from the constant overcast sky, to the winter months, everything dirty, even smelly fish and ultra evil bad guys contemplating doing horrible things to innocents just too dark, dark, dark. Could have used a lot more nuance but opted to take a meat cleaver to the entire movie rhetorically speaking.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Gritty and brooding, a slow burn with a melancholy heart. Solid acting, decent albeit predicable plot, with good action when it comes up (perhaps not frequently enough for some viewers expecting more action).

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I like it. Yes, it borrows from other movies , overlaps with equaliser, taxi driver etc. Brody is always worth watching. It could have dragged but it kept my attention so much that I didn't take my much needed nap. Most of the characters are underwritten, but that didn't bother me. May bother you.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Clean is a great Indy ride. Who is this dude and what is his past, this is what I was thinking the entire time watching. It kept me intrigued... The darkness of this film with a kiss of sunshine from Adrien Brody's character. The struggle he goes through with the loss of his daughter ( his fault) is particularly hard to watch ( in a good way). Loved it! It will be my go to movie to add to the list.
