Diane D. @Diane19809 5d Well I didn’t see that coming! Nice twist! See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jun 3 Cleaner starring Keke Palmer and Samuel L. Jackson is a decent film with strong moments of story building, action, and criminal conspiracy woven through a lot of back-and-forth tension. The premise is engaging and there are stretches where the film really holds attention through its mix of investigation and escalating conflict. However, at times the screenplay feels overly heavy and a bit stuck in place, as if it is repeating itself instead of pushing the story forward in meaningful ways. That creates moments where the momentum dips and the narrative feels like it is circling rather than evolving. Despite that, the performances help elevate the material, especially with the lead cast carrying the emotional weight well. The film is still very watchable and entertaining in the moment, but it lacks the lasting impact that would make it more memorable. It ends up being one of those films you enjoy while watching, but gradually forget over time once it is over. See more Umutoni G @RT01569678 Jun 2 Cleaner is a slow-paced crime drama about a crime scene cleaner who gets caught up in a mystery, offering a quiet but engaging story with a darker tone. See more Rock M @Rock_Monsieur May 29 We decided to watch Cleaner through the increasingly popular "15 Minute Movie" technique. Our group had 7 attendees, and I personally watched minutes 24–36. Despite each person only seeing a small portion of the film, we are confident we accurately reconstructed the entire plot. That said, there were several notable observations: 1. It remains unclear whether Police Commissionerr Vaughn actually appears in the movie. 2. We never fully understood the significance of listerine as a crime scene cleaning solution. 3. Having two Hispanic detectives with similar names created significant confusion. 4. The house key was understood to be significant, and revealed some critical plotlines, but it remains unclear why Tom returned to the residence if only to return a key. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience and successfully delivered the timeless cinematic message that police corruption is bad. Its worth noting that a lot of time was saved utilizing the 15 minute movie technique.

A little slow but otherwise solid story/acting/directing/editing. It's very relatable in the sense that real life is messy, and sometimes right and wrong overlap a little bit.
