Cleaner

So good I will have to watch it again and again, repeat ad infinitum good!

Kev hates hippy dippy Eco Nut Zero con but this wasn't just bad guys take over building, good girl kills em, the end. Like die hard with oestrogen but not excessively.

The wife & my son gave it a 7/10. I was looking at more like a 5. The action wasn't too bad, but the dialogue, some of the acting and the plot was absolute pants. Talking to each other thru inch thick glass while one's dangling about 300ft up in the air as if they were in a lift together?? Erm nope.
Unless you've absolutely nothing else to watch, don't bother.

Nice action scenes and acting from Daisy but misses a better script

Cleaner is a good-not-great thriller in the "Die
Hard" mold that gets an extra lift from
Campbell's skillful direction and from Ridley,
who is slowly but surely showing herself to
be a performer of wide range and appeal

A tentative for Die Hard with Daisy Ridley. While the movie is not terrible, it does also not manage to reach the special something of Die Hard.
Daisy Ridley does a good acting job, even if she take the whole thing a bit too seriously, which manages to my mind to raise the movie above simple mediocrity.
Unfortunately, the general story is quite difficult to accept.
The worst of the movie is though the supposedly autistic brother of Daisy. The character is badly written and even worse played, thus making you just cringe every time you are supposed to accept him within the story.
Pretty well made with a good Daisy but a mediocre rest. Popcorn cinema for an evening where you do not want to think a lot.

An easy watch, with a slow build up. It was entertaining. :thumbsup_tone1:

I don't know if 6/10 is fair, but there are a couple of disappointing decisions that make this feel more odd than it should. Mostly to do with certain characters, pacing, and shortcutting. The first 30 minutes start strong with quick comedy and simple exposition. Daisy Ridley was great too, you can tell she's dedicated. Then 'Die Hard' kicks in and things slow down. I loved the politics and unpredictability but as soon as the pace picks up, the quality descends and then it randomly ends. Like most Campbell movies, it's really good but really bad. Pleasantly surprised by the motifs/details though, especially with the bold shots of (definitely not corrupt) Canary Wharf.

Good watch for a Tuesday afternoon sitting on the sofa.

Cleaner (2025) - ❤x6

This is another Fie Hard() retread. This time it's about environmentalism and money - not just money.

It's entertaining enough.

How I rate:
1-3 ❤ = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 ❤ = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 ❤ = I expect you will like this too
9-10 ❤ = movies and TV shows I really love!

Seems like a low budget version of Die Hard but in London. It has a lot of action and a halfway decent storyline, just a little farfetched.
