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.

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 Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Ridley might not bring much dimensionality to Joey as a character, but she does bring a ton of physicality: She looks like she’s having the time of her life getting down and dirty for the film’s myriad beatdowns. Feb 24, 2025 Full Review 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 Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania Daisy Ridley's spirited performance leads Martin Campbell's lacklustre Die Hard clone. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A messy derivative action pic set in London. Rated: C= Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Cleaner starts off as a promising thriller that's obviously inspired by Die Hard, with a hero battling office-invading terrorists. But as the movie goes along, it becomes too ridiculous to take. Everything devolves into corny dreck with uneven acting. Mar 11, 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 stars03/05/25 Full Review KC J The main male actor was impressive. I definitely see his acting career going very far!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars03/05/25 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 stars03/05/25 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 stars03/05/25 Full Review Rick Well done out of nowhere scenes special effects awesome Rated 5 out of 5 stars03/04/25 Full Review thegreys weak, with a stupid concoction of girls.
