Zachary Barnes Wall Street Journal You might say it’s like seeing “Die Hard” through a smudged window. Someone fetch the Windex. Feb 22, 2025 Full Review William Bibbiani TheWrap I’ve spent over two paragraphs now talking about the various movie trivia 'Cleaner' reminded me of, since 'Cleaner' doesn’t provide much other food for thought. Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com “Cleaner” is a concept action movie with a bit of heart and of course, plenty of high-flying antics from an impossible situation. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope While this is a standard action film in the mold of Die Hard, with a limited budget, it holds up well thanks to some plot twists and a spirited performance by Daisy Ridley, with good support from Matthew Tuck, Taz Skylar and Ruth Gemmell. Rated: B Feb 22, 2025 Full Review James Verniere Boston Movie News Yippee-Kay-Nay. A sometimes nonsensical Die Hard knockoff directed by Martin Campbell of Casino Royal fame with Daisy Ridley as John McClane. Rated: C+ Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Jonathan Sim ComingSoon.net Cleaner has too many familiar elements to make it worthwhile. There’s no reason to go out to see this movie when you can stream any of the Die Hard movies at home. Rated: 4/10 Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael old school action throwback. Mad props to Daisy, she crushed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Aprile B We went to see The Cleaner and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was not playing at many theaters and it should be. It kept at the edge of our seats the entire time. It has some twist and great action. Go see it you will enjoy it!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Josh The movie does its job at being a fun popcorn entertaining movie with a couple of surprises. I had a good time watching it. Everyone who worked on this did a good job. I absolutely recommend it if you're willing to suspend disbelief and overlook the fact that it is another Die Hard situation movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Don J Disappointing action movie that’s basically a Die Hard rip off from noted action director Martin Campbell. Corny story involving environmental terrorists wanting to expose corruption. Daisy Ridley happens to get involved playing a window cleaner, who happens to be a former soldier with fighting and combat skills. She is at work and looking after her autistic older brother. One thing leads to another and Ridley’s Joanne gets involved. Some of the action is okay, but I found the villains lame and the story not really compelling. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Jim M Surprise action film with a look of Die Hard, but just a bit short. A fast paced action film. Some fun at the theater. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Kevin This movie is an excellent depiction of good vs evil along the lines of the Die Hard franchise. Nonstop action, plenty of attitude and a pretty cute bad ass female lead. You can't go wrong here. Don't forget your popcorn and beer. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews
