Cleaner (2007)

3.5/10

Ok cinematography, good acting but a slow and thin storyline.
Easily forgettable

Cleaner is about a former cop who now earns a wage as a crime scene cleaner unknowingly participates in a cover-up at his latest job. (imdb)

The cinematography is fantastic in this film along with the performance from Samuel L Jackson and Ed Harris, however neither could save the thin plot line.

Cleaner is riddled with cliches and some over dramatic scenes. The ending, though not entirely predictable, was not at all exciting or awing. The story lacked in substance, all the build up to the ending scene seem futile.

The film is worth watching for some of the fantastic cinematography scenes. There was one shot where Samuel L Jackson was sitting on the bed, and we are shown a low shot through the slightly ajar door. This shot was visually appealing. Shots like this as well as the cast saved this film from being a complete flop.

The Cleaner is entertaining, though don't expect anything great. There's a bit of twist in the movie, but nothing mindblowing. If you want an acting, some cinematograhy elements but don't mind the slow pace and a weak storyline...then watch this. Otherwise, don't bother
