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.

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.

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.

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.

Regardless, and despite its obvious budget constraints, “Cleaner” is a certainly entertaining, action-packed romp that’s also well-shot. [Full review in Spanish]

Daisy is so likable that you can’t help but root for her as she goes full on action hero.

It is such an ill fit for Daisy Ridley, who is far more charismatic, and is pushed into this overly gruff role. This film has no known audio description, so it was an unpleasant experience overall to sit through, when I don’t know who is being shot.

If besting the worst Die Hard film of all time is the goal, then Cleaner has achieved it.

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.

The main male actor was impressive. I definitely see his acting career going very far!!!

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.

The only downside was that there was nothing particularly special about the film. It felt bland. The tension & suspense weren't there.
