Former assassins have a tough time readjusting back to normal lives. Despite their newfound start, trouble seems to follow them around. In Clean, a former hit man is thrust back to action after someone hurts a girl that reminds him of his daughter.

Here’s the official synopsis for Clean:

Clean, a man with a violent and criminal past, seeks redemption after being awakened by personal tragedy. He dedicates his life to his broken community, and the safety of a young girl who reminds him of his daughter. When her life is put in danger, it ignites a return to the darkness and violence he’s worked so hard to leave behind. In his attempts to save her, he might very well save himself.

The film stars Adrien Brody, Glenn Fleshler, Richie Merritt, Chandler Air-DuPont, Mykelti Williamson, RZA, Michelle Wilson, and John Bianco. Paul Solet directed the movie from the screenplay written by Solet and Brody.

Adrien Brody gained widespread recognition in Roman Polanski’s The Pianist, which earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor at the age of 29 in 2002. His other successful films included The Thin Red Line, The Village, King Kong, Predators, and Midnight in Paris. He is a frequent collaborator with Wes Anderson with four films, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and The French Dispatch.

Paul Solet’s first feature Grace premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009 that earned global praise. He has developed projects for producers Darren Aronofsky, Peter Berg, Jason Blum, Nicolas Chartier, Michael Douglas, Ron Howard, Aaron Ryder, and James Patterson to name a few. He directed a highly-stylized crime thriller Bullet Head that starred Adrien Brody, John Malkovich, and Antonio Banderas.
