    CleanSkin has an 8.3 currently on IMDB!
    Quantum only has a 6.8!

    Looks like 006 is still out to get Bond!

    Sure :D

    about seeing the film... now it's the first time i read about it. Maybe if it has a "Close-To-Skyfall-Rumours" story, i'd like to see it.

    Thanks :)

    And if you go back to the trailer you'll see that Bean is..

    1. A British assasin/spy
    2. has a female boss
    3. most of the film is in London
    4. Bean plays a gritty, action hero

    Sounds like CraigBond to me! Even the attack on London bit sounds like SKYFALL!

    Part of QoS's smashing by people is word of mouth. It gets out that a film is trash, so no one sees it or says anything positive about it if they do see it for fear of alienation. Critics and audiences alike are guilty, and it has gotten to the heads of many Bond fans too. It's all a bloody shame too, because QoS is quite good even after going through all the troubles behind the scenes. Hopefully someday soon it will rightfully be seen as what it is: an entertaining, well-shot, supremely well-acted, and deep film.

    Beam should of gotten the part of Bond in the place of Brosnan now that I've seen this trailer. He looks the part.

    Bringing this back up as I just watched CleanSkin as a rental here in Japan.
    I love Sean, I enjoyed him in this film (weather-beaten as he is). The overall feeling I was left with was kind of down, though. Not a happy feel good movie by any account. But I'm glad I got to watch it because it was good to see Sean in this kind of role. Rampling was good, too, I thought.

    So who has seen it and what are your opinions? And no, it did not remind me of Skyfall.

    I saw it and it didn't remind me of Skyfall either (although I saw it before Skyfall anyway). In fact it didn't really remind me of Bond at all, Bean was playing the opposite of Bond if anything, but that wasn't a bad thing.

    Anyway I really enjoyed it. Sean Bean was brilliant as the world weary, scruffy secret agent and I liked how he kept his Yorkshire accent.

    Rampling was good too and I enjoyed the twist ending. I think what sets it apart from other spy films is the violence and the general bleakness of it.

    Yes, cleanskin is a more realistic take on what it's like to be a spy. There's nothing particularly glamorous about working in such a profession and Bean was indeed excellent as an experienced, world weary agent. It's a good little film.

    I saw this film a long while back after the trailer came out - I think I may have gotten it from Redbox - and loved it. It does tend to be slow at times, but it was great to hear Bean's accent and he really does kick some ass throughout it. Unique ending, too, in a depressing way.

    Saw this on DVD in the supermarket. I really should buy it next time that I'm there. Sounds interesting. Those new recruits into the Real IRA in Northern Ireland are called "cleanskins" I believe.

    Well, I'm glad others enjoyed it, too. Yes, bleak, and the violence was shown full color and all. It had a dreary, inevitable feeling about it for me - which made it seem realistic. I thought Sean was great. He is a really good actor, and I'm looking forward to his next films.
