Tara Brady Irish Times There's a lovely frisson between Bean and Rampling that makes you think what James Bond and M could be. Rated: 3/5 Sep 10, 2012 Full Review Leslie Felperin Variety The ambition is laudable even if the execution isn't as smooth or detailed as it might have been. Aug 23, 2012 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) You couldn't ever accuse Hadi Hajaig's film of being one-sided: it has two, both of them stupid. Rated: 1/5 Mar 9, 2012 Full Review David Aldridge 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2012 Full Review 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. Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2012 Full Review 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 Mar 15, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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 06/30/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It was boring. I was not a fan of the storyline or the characters. Very slow moving and dull. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good for the most part just got a tiny bit naff at the end, which didn't need to happen Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
