Clean

Adrien Brody's passion/vanity project is well-acted and visceral enough to overcome its lack of originality.

“Clean” (opening in limited theaters and available on VOD beginning Friday, Jan. 28) is obviously a passion project for Adrien Brody. Brody not only stars in the picture, but he also co-wrote it (alongside director Paul Solet – with whom Brody previously collaborated on “Bullet Head”), scored it (including a rap track over the closing credits) and produced it (in conjunction with Solet and Brody’s professor/painter pops Elliot).
