2021 Movie Clean Review
The film boasts a top-notch performance from Adrien Brody, who was never really seen as an action star. He’s very talented and versatile, as Clean shows, and he doesn’t capture the character of Clean perfectly. It’s hard for the audience to empathize with such a violent man, but Brody pulls it off with ease.
The film is very dark and gritty. Cinematography, lighting and scenery do a good job of portraying this. From the moment it begins, it’s a very dark (literally) movie that helps make the story completely believable.
What’s really wonderful about this movie is that, despite its dark nature, it’s all about the love of parents for their children. They will protect their children at all costs, no matter what the consequences may be. There are some sweet moments hidden in the film that really make it home.
“Clean” starts out as a slow narrative, with a premise, which is important in a movie like this. But it does disrupt the rhythm of the first half of the film. It takes about 45 minutes to hit the sweet spot and get the story moving in high gear. If there had been more action scenes in the movie Clean, especially in the beginning, it might have been better.
Conclusion
Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody proved himself to be an excellent actor in Clean. He was brilliant in both dramatic and action scenes and completely stole the show. The plot was set to the point that it hooked the audience right from the start. Overall, the message of the film is parents’ love for their children, which is a surprise.
