Review of Clean

Clean (II) (2004)
1/10
Awful movie
12 March 2008
Don't waste your time. Relentlessly boring, with long periods of inactivity "made up" for with an unbearable soundtrack. This is a poor poor attempt at a gritty realistic and ironic look at Hollywood and celebrity, with undeveloped characters being explored by amateur actors. Not one single person you care about, and no plot to speak of. Ridiculous and inane. What is amazing about a film like this is that it truly says nothing. The title of the film implies that we will see some sort of example of what "clean" looks like, but instead see a parade of depraved characters, and a protagonist who we can not like, much less get to know, as he speaks a grand total of about 10 lines of dialog, along with a couple of lame ass monologues directed at other characters, meant to assert his moral or ethical superiority, yet it is never once on any kind of display for us to see. Im not sure who did a worse job here - the screenwriter, or the actors, although I suspect the actors were doing the best they could with a script that left them absolutely no clue of who they were supposed to be portraying. A cheap attempt at a surreal drug dealers lair, a la Boogie Nights, comes off as studenty and amateurish. Bad movie folks.
