Cleaner (2007)

Cleansliness

Samuel Jackson portrays a beleivble ex cop, in a pretty beleivable scenario.
He takes care of the 'dirty' jobs. Consisting of cleaning up after deaths, and crime scenes revolving around murders. Living in a corrupt world, and trying to raise the right virtues for a daughter, things are about to get frisky.

His job leads to a conspiracy possibly amongst his old work force. However something just isn't adding up and he's willing to do anything to tie it all together. The movie is a bit boring, kinda rough around the edges, but has a good enough story to keep you interested the whole way through. If this movie isn't a book I feel the need to announce it'd make for a much better book than film. Genuinly haunted from his past, the future brings many painful flash backs. Pressured and not sure where to turn, the movie easily picks up (but not cohesively).

Completely Expected Twists and Turns

Is it bad when great actors work in crappy movies? Does it hurt their careers? In this case, I hope not because what ruined this movie was not the acting. The screenplay and directing however...ouch!
So many opportunities for intrigue and tension were circumvented for no apparent reason. All the problems faced by the characters were solved way too easily. What a bore! What's the point?

Gripping and entertaining film of suspense

Great actors and acting, excellent direction, fascinating cinematography, haunting sound track, and an engrossing plot make me wonder why this film went straight to dvd and didn't open in theaters. Characters you can really care about, involved in thought-provoking, moving situations, make this film emotionally touching in addition to all the suspense. Gorgeous cinematography, with scenes shot in a stark way, from unusual angles, added to the tension. The main character's occupation is one you would never think about, but once he explains it, it seems obvious that someone would have to clean up murder scenes. The job even seems mundane, until one leads him into a complicated cover-up with surprising twists and danger at every turn. I took a chance buying this film, because I usually don't like thrillers, and I enjoyed it much more than I had thought I would because of its psychological and emotional depth in addition to the plot that just grabs you.

Better than CSI

I, for one, really liked this movie. Acting was believable and so was the plot. My only complaint was that at the very end there was a piece of another movie (? Youth without Youth???) wedged in... I feel cheated, but I still liked the movie a lot! July 14, 2008
