Tara Brady Irish Times 09/10/2012
3/5
There's a lovely frisson between Bean and Rampling that makes you think what James Bond and M could be. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Variety 08/23/2012
The ambition is laudable even if the execution isn't as smooth or detailed as it might have been. Go to Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 03/09/2012
1/5
You couldn't ever accuse Hadi Hajaig's film of being one-sided: it has two, both of them stupid. Go to Full Review David Aldridge Radio Times 08/23/2012
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Simon Reynolds Digital Spy 08/23/2012
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Mark Adams Daily Mirror (UK) 03/15/2012
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

mark g May 19 Good stuff. Raw and objective. Different from so many other movies centered around terrorism. See more 06/29/2024 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. See more Emilliano Jr S 05/15/2024 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. See more 03/16/2020 Stupid plot. What kind of crap Secret Service agent is Sean Bean? Wearing a bullet proof vest and fall like a pansy to hack terrorists..lmao See more 02/26/2019 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. See more 09/15/2017 It was boring. I was not a fan of the storyline or the characters. Very slow moving and dull.
