Review | Action movie 'Cleaner' is 'Die Hard' with a squeegee
Briefly

'Cleaner' is a 'Die Hard' inspired action-thriller centered around Joanna "Joey" Locke, played by Daisy Ridley, an ex-soldier turned window cleaner at a corrupt eco-corporation. The film presents a unique twist with a female protagonist facing environmental terrorists during a gala. While it follows a standard action formula, it offers an intriguing moral ambiguity, leaving viewers questioning the motivations of both the activists and corporate villains. Although the script is conventional, Ridley's performance adds an engaging element, making the movie a passable choice for a casual viewing experience.
"Cleaner does introduce enough fresh elements, notably Daisy Ridley as an average Jane taking on high-rise terrorists, which makes it somewhat watchable despite its formulaic script."
"The film's blend of character backstory and thriller elements leads to complex narrative dynamics, leaving the audience questioning who to root for throughout the unfolding chaos."
