FILM: Cleanskin (15)

Sean Bean headlines this taut thriller that taps into concerns about a devastating terrorist attack in a major British city. Secret service agent Ewan (Bean) works deep undercover in the criminal underworld of London, exposing the men and women who break the law from within. A suicide bomber kills dozens of innocent bystanders by detonating his device inside a crowded restaurant in the capital. The atrocity sparks fears that there is a terrorist cell operating in London which will strike again without mercy or fear. As fear chokes the city streets, Ewan works tirelessly to confirm the existence of the cell and expose its members before they have a chance to detonate a second device. His orders are clear and simple: kill everyone.
