A script of terror


Cleanskin (2012)

Written and Directed by Hadi Hajaig this film stars Sean Bean, Charlotte Rampling, Abhin Galeya and Tom Burke. British born Muslim terrorists are hunted by two black ops agents trying to stop their suicide bombing campaign.

I think this film suffers from a bit of an identity crisis, not being sure if it wants to be a serious look into why people turn to terrorism (which I am not sure it does very realistically) or be a slightly less serious thriller. My problem with the plot is that towards the end it takes the clichéd “inside job to restrict our rights” which pretty much undermines any attempts at credibility the plot had. If you can turn off your brain this is not to bad of a thriller but the script could have done with a few more drafts.

2/5
