I was rather excited to watch this movie after I saw the trailer. I do enjoy movies where the main character has a past he's trying to hide. Unlike John Wick and Nobody, however, and despite a similar runtime, Clean doesn't manage to grab me.
Although the cinematography is good and sets the atmosphere nicely, it fails whenever we see the flashbacks. This style of slowly revealing the past of the main character borders on annoying and breaks immersion.
The story had potential, but during the third act it speeds up immensely and falls apart. The build up was better than the climax, therefore I enjoyed the first half of the movie more than the second half.
