Set in present-day London, a group of radical activists take over an energy company's annual gala, seizing 300 hostages in order to expose the corruption of the hosts. Their just cause is hijacked by an extremist within their ranks, who is ready to murder everyone in the building to send his anarchic message to the world. It falls to an ex-soldier turned window cleaner, played by Ridley, suspended 50 stories up on the outside of the building, to save those trapped inside, including her younger brother.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Daisy Ridley's credible action chops and Martin Campbell's smooth direction keep Cleaner from being a mess, but this thriller borrows one too many elements from better predecessors to have a polished identity of its own.

Tomris Laffly Variety James Bond alum Martin Campbell’s modest popcorn caper has murky eco-terrorism ideas and wastes Clive Owen, but knows how to steer a clockwork action movie. Jun 10, 2025 Full Review John Nugent Empire Magazine Cleaner has good people behind it but this British attempt at a Die Hard ends up just being a bit of a mess. Yippee-ki-nay. Rated: 2/5 May 10, 2025 Full Review Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times Regardless, and despite its obvious budget constraints, “Cleaner” is a certainly entertaining, action-packed romp that’s also well-shot. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 11, 2025 Full Review Alfred Castaneda Shade Studios If besting the worst Die Hard film of all time is the goal, then Cleaner has achieved it. Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Ryan Syrek The Reader (Omaha, NE) This should have been torture for people afraid of heights but is mostly just anguish-inducing for people who like stuff that’s good. Rated: D Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Cleaner gets off to a slow and rather desultory start. I was almost ready to bail after five minutes. But then it kicks in and director Martin Campbell deftly juggles the growing suspense and carefully choreographed action. Rated: B- Jun 27, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Juan Only really went to see this because when I seen Daisy Ridley was in it I thought “what’s Rey up to”. Thought it was going to be more of her kicking ass. Didn’t really happen until the last 30 minutes. It’s not bad just really predictable. One thing that I found distracting it might be just a me thing but Daisy’s makeup was too in the opening scene when she was supposed to be getting up. You know what’s also funny about the theater going to experience that no one mentions it’s that knowing someone else made a terrible decision when the movie sucks at the same time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review KC J The main male actor was impressive. I definitely see his acting career going very far!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Scott B Great action, very entertaining. Daisy Riley did an excellent job as Joey, the female action hero very reminiscent of the diehard movies excellent action sequences a little light on character development, but still an incredible popcorn movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review kenneth p The only downside was that there was nothing particularly special about the film. It felt bland. The tension & suspense weren't there. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Rick Well done out of nowhere scenes special effects awesome Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review thegreys weak, with a stupid concoction of girls.
