the longest 90 minutes of my life

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...

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
Cleaner is a watchable film, but one which feels like a missed opportunity.
09/14/07
The "cleaning" thing was done and done better in Curdled and in terms of a crime drama, Cleaner just doesn't measure up.
09/15/07
Low-energy and grindingly mediocre, it adds a whole new dimension to Harlin's wildly uneven oeuvre: tedium.
05/28/08
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 CriticBeyond the contributions from Samuel L. Jackson and Ed Harris, however, there's very little worth talking.
09/13/07
A neatly contained crime whodunit with a nifty setup and an expert lead performance from Samuel L. Jackson.

Top CriticIt's a clever premise
