Ewen works for the secret service and is assigned the task of tracking down and eliminating a suicide bomber and his terrorist cell.

Irish Times

There's a lovely frisson between Bean and Rampling that makes you think what James Bond and M could be.

Variety

The ambition is laudable even if the execution isn't as smooth or detailed as it might have been.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

You couldn't ever accuse Hadi Hajaig's film of being one-sided: it has two, both of them stupid.

Radio Times

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.

Simon Reynolds

Digital Spy

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.

Mark Adams

Daily Mirror (UK)

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.

Rated: 3/5

CLEANSKIN manages a brutal storyline of realistic urgency that is practically nightmare hypnogogic; coupled with good acting, direction and production, it's fascinating terrorism that really engages in a sobering way.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Brit action thriller with a lot of flaws. Sean Bean screen time was so limited you'll think he's the supporting here. The flashback scenes also were so confusing.

It's a format I've seen before in British crime thriller/political intrigue films, a format I'm not particularly fond of, and Cleanskin isn't even a well done example of it. No letdowns in the acting department though, so credit where credit's due.

It was boring. I was not a fan of the storyline or the characters. Very slow moving and dull.
