Low-energy and grindingly mediocre, it adds a whole new dimension to Harlin's wildly uneven oeuvre: tedium.

I did like the dynamic between Samuel L. Jackson and Keke Palmer. I’d like to see them play father and daughter in the better film.

Top Critic It's not that Cleaner is a terrible film, it just doesn't rear back and sock the viewer in the jaw like a great thriller should. It's mild sauce from the first frame to the last.

...a substantial improvement over some of filmmaker Renny Harlin's more recent efforts...

A neatly contained crime whodunit with a nifty setup and an expert lead performance from Samuel L. Jackson.

Top Critic The "cleaning" thing was done and done better in Curdled and in terms of a crime drama, Cleaner just doesn't measure up.

Cleaner is a watchable film, but one which feels like a missed opportunity.

Cleaner suffers from a distracting case of visual jitters and takes a CSI approach to fetishizing the messy nature of the human body.
09/14/07
Top Critic Beyond the contributions from Samuel L. Jackson and Ed Harris, however, there's very little worth talking.
